CQ 160 SUMMARY SHEET
Contest Dates : 26-Feb-05, 27-Feb-05
What a start! I made 60 Q's by 0013, 111 by 003Z, and finished up first
hour working Bud, W3LL for 196. Could have probably broken the coveted
200 if I hadn't slowed down to pull out a few weak ones and there were
some "lulls" the 2nd 1/2 hour. No excuse for not doing better; I just
wasn't motivated; it might have something to do with ARRL CW DX before
and phone the week after, Hi! The only Eu worked was TM7Y who
had good signal but barely pulled me out. Missed LA on both modes; I
guess we need a PVRC expedition to there. They must have started a new
program of "paid contesting" in SC, worked at least a dozen! The only
other easy one I missed was BC. Missed VO1/2, VE4 and the usual ones
up north. Many thanks for the rate "high" the first hour. The half
sloper works pretty well with many "you're loud" compliments and did
get called by K7RL in WA and some other Rocky mtn. station well before
their sunset (23Z hour). This was a best effort for me in this one, but
only 2nd time running HP, I think.
