[SCCC] Fw: Re: [cwops] SO2R's and station limitations

[Timothy Coker]

 Hi all, I thought this post might be of interest to you guys. A question was asked on the CWOps reflector about what a great op looks like while winning and what the same guy could do at your own station. I immediately thought of Danny as he's operated from my place showing me how my own station can do.

Here's what I shared over there:

  NAQP and CaQP... what N6MJ, Danny, can do with a single 50' tower. C31XR, XM240, and wires.

Danny operated my station for a number of NAQP CW's and NA Sprints as I was quite timid back then on CW, enjoyed the company, and wanted to see what could be done.
In January of 2013 Danny operated seemingly bored with my station limitations as this Youtube video shows him operating SO2R and playing Words With Friends (or was it Angry Birds)? He easily bested my top Jan NAQP CW score of 169k. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vqkw05ClqQ4&t=4s
Bud beat us that year taking 5th to our 6th place.
AA3B 358,308 1332 269 116/39 235/48 317/54 308/50 235/47 121/31 FRC
N6WIN (N6MJ) 339,020 1265 268 37/18 121/42 264/53 262/58 358/58 223/39 SCCC #1


In CaQP Danny won the state but we both forgot to submit the log. However, the 3830 clearly tells the story:
http://www.3830scores.com/showrumor.php?arg=5taEzdfcfvsa0
In 2013 Danny made 2658 Qso's, 57 Mults, for 371,811, shy of his standing record setting 2012 finish from W6YI of 3070 Qso's, 58 Mults, and 431,549. He blew my best 2012 finish of 2165 Qso's, 57 Mults, for 296k out of the water!
Nobody that I can tell has ever scored a claimed 371k in the CaQP before... and he came in and did it from a small city lot with a broken CW keyer and another rig with a broken PTT line without the host on site as I was away with the K6Z CaQP expedition team.
I hope that gives you guys some glimpse as to what can happen at your own station... often times its NOT the hardware, but ourselves.
73,
Tim / N6WIN.

  Here's the 2016 #1 World SOABHP and 16th place record for CQ WW CW. An excellent Youtube video showing (with audio) SO2R.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3ncFJZqkTA
The best 60 minute rate was 385/hour from 0010 to 0109 
The best 30 minute rate was 418/hour from 0013 to 0042 
The best 10 minute rate was 444/hour from 0014 to 0023
Here's the 2017 #3 World SOABHP and 55th place record for CQ WW CW. An excellent Youtube video showing (with audio) SO3R, yep, three radios is the next level coming if the guy's can figure out how to best use some new features available efficiently.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIW1Z1uFbRw
The best 60 minute rate was 356/hour from 1249 to 1348The best 30 minute rate was 374/hour from 1244 to 1313The best 10 minute rate was 432/hour from 1253 to 1302
I'll follow up with how Danny has done operating my home station and how I've done... it's QUITE a difference.
73,
Tim / N6WIN.

 Hi all,
     I think it would be interesting and fascinating too.  I imagine in 
my head , AA3B Bud, running back and forth or his chair rotating to a 
new keyboard asap and doing it. I worked him on 40 and then 20 within a 
few minutes yesterday,so I guess he is operating 2 different bands too: 
you'd have to.
My operating style is just a set of paddles and n1mm. I don't use the 
computer to key the transmitter so that limits me to  my keying speed of 
about 35 wpm on the paddles, but usually only run 25-30 wpm. My best is 
81 Q's in a 1300 session.
