[NCC] NAQP CW Team Registrations

[jimk8mr at aol.com]

Two other NAQP thoughts:
1.Unlike, say, SS, where rates just keep getting lower, it is often better in NAQP to take your off times earlier in the day. Especially if things evolve into a 20 meter only contest in the afternoon. Better to operate late when three or more bands are busy.

2. QRB?   Shall we Run the Bands? If close enough, taking some time to work each other on those bands (i.e. 10/15) where we might not spend a lot of time otherwise.

73 & GL to all !

Hello,

I have registered five teams as shown below.  We have some pretty good 
teams this time!

For reference, I am reproducing NA8V's band breakdown (claimed basis) 
from one year ago.

160  145/33

80     298/49

40     356/54

20     176/44

15       38/25

10        1/1

Total 1014/206  score 208,884  (claimed)

Judging from the IARU a couple of weeks back and recent activity, the 
high bands have been much better this year, so we should see better 
conditions on 10-20 than Greg had last year.  Nevertheless, Greg's 
results show that, despite summer QRN, the low bands can still be very 
good to us in this part of the country.
