I really had a great time in my first cw contest. Between the
holiday company and barbecueing, I couldn't spend much time on
the air but did enjoy myself.
It didn't take long to discover that I was woefully unprepared
for the speed y'all were sending the exchanges with. How do you
learn or what do you use to be able to copy code that fast? As
best I could tell, most were sending at 27+ wpm. I really had
to struggle to get the serial #'s right because I knew I was
only going to hear them once. Now I wish I would have had to
pass 30 wpm for extra!
Thanks and can't wait for the next one. Maybe I'll do better,

Comments on the above numbers:
1) Very few of those 1053 North American QSO's were VE's !
2) No, we didn't do anything stupid, like go out of our way to work W's, unless
they were a new multiplier.
3) What were we suppose to do, ignore all those AC4's and AA8's that answered
our CQ's ?
A real black hole weekend for us. Just kept pretending that this was really
Field Day, and working W's was a good thing ! Very few memorable QSO's or band
openings. Only 150 JA's on 40 meters, despite 7-8 hours of good propagation.
Where have all the JA's gone ? Couldn't hear even a whisper of many of the EU
that the east coast was working on 20 meters on Sunday. 1430Z-1700Z Sunday -
no DX on any band !
Missed 1.5 hours on Friday evening (0300Z-0430Z) due to thunderstorms. So much
for the over-the-pole opening !

160 - Only one station heard - NQ4I
80 - Fair opening Sunday morning to JA.
40 - No beam. Noisy and slow.
20 - In and out all weekend. Europe was there most of the
time, but difficult to work from the "Western Black
Hole".
15 - A few marginal openings to SA and the Far East.
10 - One W6 heard on a sporadic E opening.
We put in about 46 hours. Rate overall was about 26, but
on Sunday afternoon, it was mostly lower than that.

Soapbox Comments
________________
First WPX contest - Had a blast. Brought back memories of random
letter/number exercises while learning the code.
Missed VK/JA opportunities on 40 both mornings due to laziness AND a forced
"family shopping trip" killed me on Saturday.
This is to certify that in the contest I have operated my transmitter within
the limitations of my license and have observed fully the rules and
regulations of the contest.
