Noticed on Saturday last week that the log check reports for the 2009 ARRL 160m contest had been posted on the ARRL website. How I found them, I’m not sure. The ARRL site has been well shuffled. In my life as a DP professional, it was important to stress the significance such sweeping change would [...] The weekend over at the N1LN/N1YXU was a lot of fun, as always. Somewhat bleary eyed at the end, but that is to be expected. The results…..2629 QSO’s, 435 mults, score of 3,417,795. The propagation was not what we hoped for, and conditions were not close to what we enjoyed for ARRL DX CW only [...] This year N1LN has been able to find enough operators to be able to host a M/2 effort for the ARRL DX SSB contest. I am fortunate enough to be part of the SSB team this year, and I’m excited about the opportunity. This is a great DX contest, as the DX stations are seeking [...] A simple goal this weekend for Sweeps SS. I am going to try to have fun. If I feel like running stations and calling CQ, I’ll do that. If I feel like S&P, I’ll do that. If I feel like watching a college ballgame, zooom – there I go. Deepest sympathies to UGa fans on the [...] A few modest milestones to shoot for this weekend. Improve S&P rate with second radio Improving accuracy would be the best improvement. Not enough butt in chair time over the last year for me to expect that to be realized. Conditions sound long already, attack 20m on Sunday. I expect there won’t [...] Scores for the 2008 CW Sweepstakes have been published on the Web. The Sweepstakes LCR report is always worth looking over, since my error rate is still far too high on CW. For 2008, it looks like 44% of my errors were on the check number. The errors on the exchange was about 45%, and [...] Today’s introspective question is “What’s a reasonable goal for this weekend’s NAQP?”. Given the current level, I’m not sure 500 QSO’s is reasonable for a 10 hour contest. Thats where I would to get, but probably not for 2009. So more modestly: run stations at 24wpm |
