[LCC] New LCC Team Registered

Sun Jul 17 14:09:33 EDT 2011

All -

First I want to take a moment and let you know how much I appreciate you
allowing me to participate as part of the LCC.  Overall I had a great time.

Below are my results.  

My goal was 400 Qs and 120 multipliers.  I achieved neither so the goal is
still there for next time.  

Like Rex I found the QRM to be challenging at times.  I could never get a
run going that lasted more than 3 to 5 minutes.  So frustrating.  Another
challenge was having to chase the calls and exchanges down the screen
because of the liberal use of CR/LF.

Band      QSOs     Pts  Mlt   DX

   3.5      55      55   26    0

     7     210     210   48    0

    14      95      95   29    2

    21      15      15    6    0

Total     375     375  109    2

Score: 41,625

Again thanks for the opportunity to contest with you guys.  I really enjoyed
it.

73,

Glenn

PS:  My final contact was with AL9A for AK and a new multiplier.  That was a
nice finish to the contest.I only wish it had been on 80M so I could have
completed my 80M WAS RTTY.

Here's my meager results from Ohio:  I worked the contest from 1800Z until
0500Z with 2 half hour breaks for a full 10 hours operating time.  I had 274
contacts with 52 multipliers for a total of 14,248 points.  My band
breakdown was: 15 meters - 7 contacts, 20 meters - 61 contacts, 40 meters -

121 contacts and 80 meters - 85 contacts.  I worked each of the LCC team
members at least once.  These numbers are hand calculated as the software I
use (Ham Radio Deluxe w/DM780) doesn't produce them.

Overall I enjoyed the contest a lot.  My goal was 300 contacts which I
didn't make.  The QRM was terrible starting out on 20 meters due to the
other contest which made it almost impossible to find a slot to run without
stepping on someone else so I did mostly S&P on that band.  Once I moved to

40 meters my rate picked up because I could find a run frequency pretty
easily and it was the same for 80 meters.  The noise on 80 meters was pretty
bad and I had some difficulty copying the calls and the exchanges.  I also
got pretty tired towards the end of the contest, but being a member of the
team kept me pushing on.  I'm sure I had a few blown calls and/or exchanges
towards the end.

I probably won't have access to email for the next week because I'm heading
to Franklinton, LA tomorrow morning to check on my winter home in EM40uv.  I
hope to hook up with Dallas, K1DW while I'm there.  If any of you are close
by Tuesday afternoon through Thursday, give me a call at 330-936-2192 and
perhaps we can have a quick eyeball.

Overall I really enjoyed participating in the contest as part of the
Louisiana Contest Club.  Thank you very much for the opportunity.

73,

Rex, NX8G
