Remarks. Well I had the whole weekend to play in this one, and wow was it
fun. The score shows how busy it was in
24 hours of operating time. The off-times seemed to be the key to this one,
but again the high winds here changed all
my plans. I couldn't start until the wind died down at 7am Saturday, and
finished at 9pm Sunday for the same reason.
Boy did I want to make 1000Qs or a million points but Mother Nature just
wouldn't let me. There are greater forces at
work here than me. I love Writelog more and more every time I use it, and
laughed when I think how Don learnt something
from Phil the newbie, now what else hiding away in there? Biggest lesson
learnt was that when you
work RU3AT on you're run frequency you don't move as he always spots on the
cluster and the following run is well worth
staying put for. I have noticed the thread about people seeing their call
sent back to them several times
during the exchange, but then I am cautious about commenting on it as we
need these new people and the longer
exchange doesn't matter that much does it ! If they fall in love with the
mode and become as passionate as some of
us are then they will come on the reflector, they will visit the great
website resources that we have, and they will see
that there is another way to send the exchange. Now I am off the old
soapbox, thanks to all of you for the support
before during and after the test that you all give away so freely. Thank
You, De Robert.
This is to certify that in this contest I have operated my transmitter
within the limitations of my license and have observed fully the rules and
regulations of the contest.
