[Mldxcc] CQP operating plans

[Robert Hess]

On a contest like CQP, where you work everyone on every band mode, I'll start on 
the highest band that can give me a rate.  Hopefully 15.  


This year, for the first time, I'll be SO2R (and learning how to use it without 
making an idiot out of myself).  If you hear us, we can probably do a quick move 
to 10 meters on the second radio which is limited to 100 watts and an omni.

I'll be operating M/S as K6C, right down the road from you, Rich, so you should 
hear us 5-9 +50 and we will be on for the full 30 hours.

KB everyone.  This may be the CQP we have been hoping for where we actually have 
some competition.  Hopefully, it will be a close race for the club competition 
crown...but not THAT close.  If everyone gets on and turns in their logs, we 
have nothing to worry about.  That means everyone...even if you only operate for 
an hour!

Bob

  I'm interested in your operating plan for CQP: when do you plan to be 
on what band?  I'll be operating from W6SR looking to maximize points 
for CQP and practice for a run at KB 1000 for SS.  This will be SSB only.

I'm thinking of running on 20 first, Sat 0800-1600 PST, and 40 from 
1600-2000 PST and then 80m from 2000-2259 PST, then sleep.  Then start 
on Sunday on 20m from 0600 PST to the end of the contest, maybe go to 
15m if 20m slows.

>From the charts on CQP 2009, it looks like my plan makes sense, but I'm 
looking for some experienced views.

This plan puts me on 20m for 17 hours, 40m for 4 hours, and 80m for 2 hours.

Thanks
