[Mldxcc] NA Sprint: Lesson Learned: Turn On The Amp

[John Miller]

Yes, I was in NAQP-RTTY in July.  Ran 100 watts.

Yes, I was in NAQP-CW in August.  Ran 100 watts.

Yes, I was in NAQP-SSB in August.  Ran 100 watts.

Yes, I was in both practice sessions Thursday & Friday.  Ran 100 watts.

------------

So, of course, for the NA Sprint CW contest Saturday evening -- I ran  
100 watts.  WRONG.  Major screw-up.

I couldn't figure out why so many guys were beating me to the punch on  
some couplets.

They had me by a couple of dB at least.

Lesson Learned:  Read The Rules Again, Miller.

For Sprint CW, SSB, RTTY:  Turn on The Amp -- high power is OK.

Jeez -- another Senior Moment!
