[LCC] IARU effort

[David A. Norris]

Good job Marcel!

 

As soon as I recover the front of my IARU log and combine the files I will
post my totals up.  Looks like 800+ QSO's - not too bad for losing 8 hrs to
equipment/software adjustments and a power failure.

 

We called this one part of the "sea trials".  a good effort with some dandy
runs on 15 & 40 CW and 75m SSB with 160 being the rice krispy band as
expected in July.

 

It was fun though wasn't it?  

 

Nap time!

First off, I search and I pounce.

Why?

1.      Being slightly hearing impaired, I'm fairly sure of call signs and
exchanges. Most of the time I get it right the first time. But: Just in
case,...

2.      I don't have to worry about neighbors showing up on either side of
me. I AM the neighbor!

3.      I don't have to worry about loosing a slot when I have to go to the
bathroom. (The older I get the worse that part gets.)

4.      I'm mobile. I can go to the big DX stations without having to wait
and hope they come to me. If I can't get through, then I just click on the
band map and come back later.

The down side of S&P

1.      Your forever watching your reflected power as you go up the band.

2.      Your always stopping every 50-75 KHz for adjustment.

3.      Of course, you don't get as many Q's.

Overall, in a nutshell:

Score: 86,355

Q's: 325

Time: 8.5 hours

Countries: 49
