Thanks Rex. Yes, that looks better! Thanks for being on the team. Condx were really tough. 15 meters was very bad. Even the west
coast stations abandoned it early. I found only one station on ten meters. Here are my results:

In my first posting I forgot that the multipliers counted per band. Here's my updated score:
80M - 85 Contacts, 32 Mults
40M - 121 Contacts, 31 Mults
20M - 61 Contacts, 29 Mults
15M - 7 Contacts, 4 Mults
--------------------------
Total - 274 Contacts x 96 Mults = 26304 points.
More is better, right?
73.

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
