Comments:
Managed to get some decent BIC time for this one, though I did not use the full
24 hours. I also realized that I was sending "B" as my precedence
when it should have been "U". I made sure the entry category was
correct, and the QSO records will match since I just stuck with "B".
Made the clean sweep on Saturday night, so after that, all QSOs were equal,
meaning I had to think less (which is always good). 20M was the money band,
though I stayed up late on 40M as well. 15M was surprisingly good for a
domestic contest. Rates are agonizingly low due to the length of the exchange.
It seems to have a compound effect on running since fewer folks wait around for
a QSO to finish so that there is never much of a pileup (unless you're in a rare
section, I guess).
Had lots of fun and managed to keep copying CW well into sleep-deprivation
mode.
Thanks for the Qs!
73,
Rick, N1RM
