      Did not know there was a contest going on until I called a PJ4 who was CQing on FT8..when he asked for a different report than my grid, I figured it out. I went to WA7BNM to see what contest was on,and then read the rules. I quickly put WSJT-x into contest mode, and started making Q’s .WSJT only does a Cabrillo Log, so no dupe checking,mults or scoring. I mainly called CQ so I wouldn’t waste guy’s time duping them. I had lots of paperwork to do in my shack on Saturday,so why not do a contest between filing papers. Got up Sunday and made more Q’s before taking a 4 hour break to play tennis..probably missed at least 100 q’s there. I had a good time in this contest ,and look forward to spending the whole 24 hours doing it next time. Made as many FT4 Q’s as I could before there were none more to be had,and then switched to FT8. Many times 15m was very busy on FT8,and nobody on the much faster FT4 mode..why ? Next time I need to be prepared with N1MM linked to WSJT ..that should speed things up quite a bit,and no duping guys by accident. Not sure how to import my Cabrillo Log into N1MM to see my exact score, so I did it the old way with a pencil. Thanks for all the q’s..Larry K6ro
