[SECC] Fwd: NAQP CW KJ4HYG Single Op LP

[Tommy]

Great job Chris! It gets even more fun as you progress. If possible you
should enter as many contest as you can and in that way you will see your
'minutes per QSO' change to 'QSO per minute'! But it's not going to change
over-night, so just hang in there and you will quickly see improvement. Try
not to worry about scores and/or rates just yet; just get contest practice
and make sure you keep it as a fun part of the hobby.

 

73,

Comments:

I had a great time working the NAQP CW. This is my first NAQP, so another
new
experience for me. This was also a bit of a landmark for me, because I
averaged
about 3 min/QSO. To some, that may seem terrible, but it was a new record
for
me, as I usually average about 5 min/QSO. For only 2.5 hours of operating, I
feel like I did pretty well.

20m was the source of most of my contacts, but I wish I had switched to 40
sooner. I waited until the band was dead to switch, which was a bad
decision.
50 percent of my 20m contacts were from either CO or CA. I was also
astounded
at how many there were with the name "Ken." "Ken" definitely wins the award
for
being the name that I worked the most.

I can feel my CW S&P skills improving, and I cannot wait for the next CW
contest (there are too few of them.)
