10M Contest

Sun Dec 12 19:14:00 EST 1993

How I long for yesteryear.  Last year I had 1000 q's.  
This year:
     Q's  M's
CW   83   36
SSB  98   40  = 40,128.

Took the last three hours to watch the cowboys thrash the 
vikings.   Found condx to be poor, never got a respectable
rate going.  I geuss the place to be was one skip zone out
from North America.  Never heard any Europeans, Africa or the
far east.

The SprINT contest must be fun.
I'd like to be in but ...
I won't be able to send the log within 72hours after the test.
Because I connects to Internet from my office and I'll be in SYOGATSU
holiday up to 6/7th JAN.
Can you accept the *check-log* after the dead line, Tree?

10-Meter Contest Results: Mixed Mode, QRP, Single Op

CW:   146 Q    10 C    33 S
SSB:  321 Q    10 C    32 S
ALL:  467 Q    20 C    65 S = 104,890

What a difference a month and a half makes:
In the 1993 CQWW SSB contest worked 60 JAs on 10-meters from
the same QTH with same equipment, low power, no JAs during
10 meter contest (only 2 heard).

What a difference 2 years makes:
During the 1991 10-meter Contest worked 43 JAs and
25 Europeans using low power and a vertical antenna.

Heard virtually nothing west of the Mississippi, except
locals.  Can hardly wait for next year !

Below is the summary for my wimpy 4.1 hours of activity on a really bad
band in the black hole of Colorado!

I decided after the good run to the east coast subsided on Saturday
morning, that the smart thing to do was to operate as long as I could keep
the rate up over 100 Q's per minute. I got bored late Sunday morning, and
basically threw the switch about 1830Z. I did get on late in the afternoon
to work a few south americans.

For this contest, it could be said WHAT'S DX? Oh, there is none beyond the
Carribean and South America, right?

Oh, well, I enjoyed some good runs to 1 and 2 land, for a while hitting
more than 300 q's per hour which is a really high rate for my station and
operating style.
