[SECC] K4BAI Claimed Score, NAQP CW

[John Laney]

Thanks for all the activity in NAQP CW and for the good team scores.

I made a mistake in setting up for SO2R and didn't realize it until 
about 2/3 through the contest.  Afraid it hurt me on the top three bands 
on rig #1, but it is impossible to quantify how much.

The 160 M inverted L that Jeff put up for me last January worked pretty 
well for quick QSYs to that band.

I probably made a mistake in time offs.  I took a half hour break after 
two hours or so and another for supper with Weesie about 8 PM.  The QRN 
had been so bad that I didn't think 160 would be very useful, 
particularly without a good antenna for that band, so I didn't take 
enough timeouts earlier.  Then, by 05Z the QRN had pretty much died down 
and I probably missed a bunch of QSOs and mults on 160.  I was able to 
work from Ontario to Texas, but Jeff says there were a lot of western 
mults in the last half hour.  I was unable to raise KT0R on 160 about 
0450Z, so don't know that I would have worked the western stations anyway.

No DX NA mults other than XE2MX and XE1/N5KO.  Canadians were worked 
only in VE1, VY2, VE2, 3, 4, and 7.  No Hawaii.  No Alaska.  Heard VE5GD 
many times on my frequency on 40 M and he was always calling somebody 
else and wouldn't answer me.  His rig must be off the frequency he is 
receiving on.  Heard no VO, VE9, or VE6.  Only VE4 was VE4VV, although I 
heard VE4XT working one of the other SECC members once.

Looks like our teams did pretty well.  Afraid our team #1 may get beat 
by a TCG team, the CCO#1 (Ontario) and maybe one or two of the western 
teams.  A good showing nevertheless.

Thanks for all the QSOs and the effort on everybody's part.
