Congrats to some really nice efforts from the multi op stations at <BR>W5WZ and W5RU, as well as SO's from W5WMU (W5XZ op), K5ENS, and KC5WA. <BR>Heard Pat was in Lubec, but haven't heard how he did yet. Anybody else have <BR>some scores to post to the reflector?<BR><BR> Being busy with the tower project, I totally forgot about forming teams <BR>for the extra competition, but with the multi's gaining in popularity, not <BR>sure we had enough single op stations for over one team anyway. Will try to <BR>do
better in the future.<BR><BR> With that in mind, it looks like I will be tied up the entire weekend of <BR>the CQWW CW contest (Nov 27-28). Who plans to participate, and do you want <BR>to go ahead and start forming teams now (no mileage requirement on teams)? <BR>Would anyone like to step up and volunteer to do the team submittal just <BR>before the contest? If so, you can respond to the reflector, or direct to me.<BR><BR> Between now and CQWW CW, we have both the CW and SSB weekends of the ARRL <BR>November Sweepstakes. I know KG5VK is planning a multi-op effort for the <BR>ssb weekend. Who else has plans to be on either weekend. Anybody planning a <BR>multi and need extra ops? Anybody wanting to participate at a multi and <BR>looking for a group to join? Let's keep the momentum going and put lots of <BR>LOUISIANA stations on the air for each and every contest of the season. And <BR>by all means, if you participate,
please send in your log, and make sure <BR>you have "Louisiana Contest Club" clearly marked in the log.<BR><BR>73 and see you on the air,<BR>Mark, K5ER<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>------------------------------<BR><BR>Message: 2<BR>Date: Tue, 2 Nov 2010 07:19:36 -0700 (PDT)<BR>From: kn5o <<A href="mailto:kn5o@bellsouth.net" ymailto="mailto:kn5o@bellsouth.net">kn5o@bellsouth.net</A>><BR>To: <A href="mailto:lcc@louisianacontestclub.org" ymailto="mailto:lcc@louisianacontestclub.org">lcc@louisianacontestclub.org</A>, <A href="mailto:ddxa@deltadx.net" ymailto="mailto:ddxa@deltadx.net">ddxa@deltadx.net</A><BR>Subject: [LCC] Fw: CQWW SSB W5RU(@KN5O) M/2 HP<BR>Message-ID: <<A href="mailto:127629.78868.qm@web180818.mail.gq1.yahoo.com" ymailto="mailto:127629.78868.qm@web180818.mail.gq1.yahoo.com">127629.78868.qm@web180818.mail.gq1.yahoo.com</A>><BR>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"<BR><BR>Folks:<BR><BR>Here's the W5RU posting...

Since we had four radios already pre-tuned to different bands,<BR>switching between run and mult stations and not doing the proper assignments<BR>caused the problems.? More work to do there..? But had we planned to operate<BR>M/2, I believe our score would have been much, much better.? There was a lot to<BR>work.? AND we did only S&P... <BR><BR>This was our first operation from the new KN5O shack.. Ran out of space in the<BR>rear master bedroom office.? Plus XYL just finished chemo 3 weeks earlier. <BR>(She was feeling good and was really very understanding about
hosting the<BR>operation for our team, so we planned a nice dinner outing for the XYLs this<BR>week).? Anyway, we now have 2x/3x the operating space and plenty of cables for<BR>more antennas, control lines and operating position communication upgrades.<BR><BR>Also, just the day before contest, we had completed installation of 2 of a<BR>planned 3 phased vertical array for 80m.? I used a Comtek phasing unit, but<BR>will eventually get the Array Solutions triangular phasing unit installed.? So<BR>even though not optimized, our 80m results were nearly 300% better than last<BR>years' posting.<BR><BR>15M was our best band for the buck.. We spent the least percentage of our time<BR>there for the most contacts.? 10M showed some life finally - worked a couple of<BR>EU and AF stations - besides SA and Caribbean.<BR><BR>20M was tough for us - lots of QRM, but we did about same as last year.. 40M<BR>seemed tougher this year.? Harder to bust pileups...? Not much to
say about<BR>160M.. With only a dipole at 70 ft., not much you can do from here except work<BR>the US and Caribbean fairly regularly, which we did..<BR><BR>On behalf of our team, thanks to all who gave us Qs and Mults..
