[Mldxcc] K6GT's CQP experiment

[gdaught6 at stanford.edu]

Cherished colleagues,

I decided to perform an experiment for CQP this year, to test
the hypothesis that we've all heard :

"All multipliers will come to you if you RUN, RUN, RUN."

So, I called CQ all weekend, and operated without a single 
S&P contact.(*)

Furthermore, I decided not to use packet or other spotting 
assistance, to avoid being tempted to chase a multiplier.  

Finally, I decided to run low power (100W).

Well, after the first hour of agony (#Q's = 44), I decided 
to turn on the amplifier (1000-1200W); things got MUCH better 
immediately (2d hour, #Q's 84).  
The experiment continued without the low-power requirement.

Bottom line result :  A new form of the hypothesis seems to 
be justified :

"All multipliers except NT, QC, ND, and MS, will come to K6GT 
if I RUN, RUN, RUN."  

Score sheet:

3.5		53
7		61
14		340
21		274
28		100

Total		828

Claimed score = 118,879.  Score contributed to MLDXCC

(*)The only thing approximating a S&P contact was when I 
changed bands, returning to a previously held CQ-frequency.  
If there was somebody there, I worked them, then moved 
on to find a new CQ-frequency.

73,
