[LCC] LCC Digest, Vol 109, Issue 5 (N5VU efforts.)

Mon Nov 20 13:34:27 CST 2017

WOW!  You guys rock.  I was going to put a dedicated effort into the SS, however, with all the wind we had, I ended up working 15 hours for the Sheriffs Office going from funeral to tree to downed power line.  Hrump!,... So, as the resident S& P guy, Sunday I put in 6 hours with 180 Qs and 65 sections.  (You wonder, "Why does this guy always S&P?" ) Well, many years ago, as a teenager who liked shooting pistols without any hearing protection,...well, anyway, I don't trust myself completely to get the calls correct the first time. (most of the time I do though)  Besides, it's a lot of fun anyway.  Occasionally I'll stop and run.

Comments:

This year the LCC members opted to go to W5WZ's QTH for our annual SS SSB
Contest get together.  Previously we have run as W5RU(@KN5O).

This time of year, WX can be an issue for us.  Fortunately a cold front passed
though our area just prior to the start of the contest, so we had excellent WX
conditions (no thunderstorms to deal with).  Additionally, we didn't have any
computer and/or antenna radio equipment problems, so it was "all
good."  

We started off on 20m and 15m and noticed that our 20m performance dropped off
earlier than usual, forcing us to move to 40m and 80m sooner than we have in
the past.  However we were able to put 82 sections in the log after about 6
hours of operation, missing only NL.  By 1AM (when we usually take our first
break), we had nearly 1100 Qs in the log - good but not as good as we have had
in the past.  

On Sunday, the rate was substantially down from years past.  We did the best we
could in trying to run, but it was somewhat disappointing.  Conditions are
obviously deteriorating.  All that being said, we were able to work VO1KVT for
our last mult early Sunday morning.  He had a pretty good pileup and managed it
well.  After putting him in the log, we just had to settle down and run as best
we could.

All-in-all, we had a good time and are satisfied with our performance.  We had
lots of food and snacks and a good time was had by all.  Many thanks to Scott
(W5WZ) and his wife Sharon for allowing us to invade their home. 

We want to thank everyone for the Qs and wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

And, on a very positive note, we noticed large numbers of Checks in the past 2
year.  The new hams ARE getting on the air!

For W5WZ and the LCC members- 

Ted KN5O, Mark K5ER, Bobby WM5H, Shawn WA5VQP and Scott, W5WZ
