Comments:
This was my first serious SS phone entry in quite a while. I can't do the CQWW
CW next weekend, so thought I would give it a try. Not having prior high power
SS phone experience, I grabbed the rate sheet that George K5TR posted from his
stint at N9RV a few years ago (thanks, George) as the basis for my hourly rate
goals. Could not match his first 6-7 hours of rate, but was on par the rest of
the way. In the end, I came out 67 QSO's short.
20 and 40 were the money bands for me. I didn't even try 10 or 15 the first
day. Only had a few good hours on 10/15 on Sunday morning. Had one nasty blue
screen of death problem with the computer in the 0400 hour, which required
multiple reboots to get things working again. Only made 6 QSO's in a 30 minute
span. Other than that, no equipment problems or computer glitches. I did get
several comments that some of my voice recordings were "much lower"
in volume than my "real" voice. I will have to look into that if I do
this again.
Spent a lot of time Sunday explaining the SS exchange to casual ops that wanted
to give me a QSO. I encouraged them all to seek out others that were calling CQ
and add to there scores as well. Not sure if they followed through, but I hope
they gave it a shot.
I could complain about the use of leading zeroes, "please copy", bad
audio, poor DVK messages, etc. but I doubt it will change things. It is what it
is. Just glad to be able to keep my BIC for 24 hours and say hi to a great bunch
of contesters that I've been working in contest after contest for the past forty
years.
Kudos to the Canadians who got on in force and provided multiple contacts from
each section. Good show! Who would have thought that ONN would now be the
rarest of the VE mults? Only one PR and one VI in the log (hope I got those
exchanges right!). 2 NL and 2 ONN. Worked all other sections at least 4 times.
12...count em...12 North Dakotas!
