[SCCC] Fw: [CQ-Contest] Southern Sprint Coalition Team #1 Score

[Mike]

Looks like they are already there, Ray. Perhaps we need to organize
a Sprint Clinic for the next SCCC meeting. Despite great antennas
and equipment, I seemed perpetually doomed to top out around
310 to 315 QSOs. Having eliminated all the technical possibilities
it is quite clear that the problem lies with the guy holding the keyer
paddles. My first hour this last round (93 QSOs) put me on pace
to break the 350 QSO barrier. Needless to say, I fell far short of
that goal. I need to figure out how to sustain my first hour momentum.
I don't know if people would be willing to share their secrets, but
I would sure love to be a fly on the wall sometime while Doug or
Dan are cranking away.

If each of us could have eaked out an additional 11 QSOs (2.75
QSOs/HR) and found 2 more mults over the course of the contest,
we would have taken first place in this one. That's how close things
were.

73 de Mike, W4EF.........
