[SECC] KB4KBS: ARRL DX Contest, SSB

[Jeremy - N4JIK]

Scott,
The DVR in N1MM isn't to bad, but I just installed the DV6 in my FT950 and
found out about half way through the contest that I can actually trigger it
from with-in N1MM as I was looking at some other stuff on the web. Go
figure. But made life so much easier.  There for a while I never actually
spoke a word so saved my voice big time.. ;)

Comments:

I didn't have a lot of time to commit to this contest - this was tax
preparation
preparation weekend and I had to attend a memorial service for the brother
of a
close friend.

My MO was to just cherry pick mult that I could hear well and work them,
with the
end game being to edge closer to a DXCC status.  I haven't done the analysis
yet, but It appears that between the 89 bad countries, I should have at
least
two dozen new ones for the counter to tabulate - if they will LoTW.

I tried my hand at using the DVR function of N1MM, I think it did OK, I'd
appreciate signal reports from anyone that hear me and could tell I was
using a
canned message - especially if the report is that the audio fidelity was
horrible.

10M was a blast - I only had 2.5 hours Sunday afternoon to play due to
church
and the memorial service, so I spent it all on that band. worked several
EU's
and lots of SA, 80% were mults, but I left just as may as I worked on the
board.

I definitely will need to increase my RAM before the next contest - the
spots
were so numerous that I kept getting buffer overflows. Great problem to
have!
