Wow! Whodathunk!?
Somewhere around here I have a list of the number of 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-,
8- and 9-minute Between-QSOs-times that I experienced during the CW
SS, 10m and WW CW contests. I post the list on the desk in
front of the operating position as incentive to not let it happen
again.
After the contest, when I go through the logs to identify those
'breaks', I am amazed that they even happened. In most cases, I can't
even recall what the heck I was doing (or not doing) that caused me to
NOT work someone in those time spans.
Well, here's hoping you guys help me keep my MTBQ* at a low value
through CW SS and WW CW.
