[NCC] Fwd: NAQP CW W1NN Single Op LP

[Hal Offutt]

HI Dan,

Thanks and well done yourself with a wounded station.  Yes, it's strange 
that we didn't work on 80.  I did a lot of S&P there. 40 and 20 are a 
little more understandable as the skip does not favor us.

I missed a bunch of easy mults.  I only got MI on two bands,  VE3 on 3 
bands and PA on 3 bands only.  I tried moving NA8V and VE3EJ to 10 and 
15 later in the evening but couldn't hear a peep.

I am a little disappointed with my score.  Here are my hourly rates:

1800 66

1900 52 (26 contacts but 30 mins off so the rate is 26 x 2)

2000 86

2100 88

2200 65

2300 81 (41 mins off)

0000 93

0100 96

0200 89

0300 91

0400 83

0500 44 (49 mins off; based on 8 contacts in 11 mins of op time)

If I could do something about those first couple of hours, I would be a 
lot better off.  My rate falls every time I spend time on 20 and 15.  Oh 
well...

I'm not going to be on much for the OQP this year.  Next event is the 
CWO in early Sept.  CU then?

73, Hal
