Comments:
Well it was a very busy weekend!
Conditions on 10 and 15 were excellent both days of the contest, and I was able
to keep the SSB rates at a consistent 100 to 125/hour during the entire
operating period, except for the last two hours on Saturday night. The result
is a claimed score that is a bit more than 1,000,000 points above the SOAB HP
record of 1.733M set in 2021.
I spent some time pre-contest fixing flaky wiring in my two radio switchbox, and
my recently repaired Amp Supply LK550-ZC performed great without any hiccups.
Line and other noise can be a factor at my station here at home, but the QRN
level this weekend was relatively low, and I could hear the weak ones really
well on 10 and 15.
I missed the 2022 BCQP, so I finally got the chance to use the BCQP logging
module developed two years ago for TR4WIN. It worked great - many thanks to
Howie, N4AF, for making this happen. I'm still most comfortable using TR4WIN
software at the home QTH - guess I am in some ways resistant to change.
As always, thanks to all for the QSOs.
73,
Gary
