Contest Club member Bobby, AA5LA, doesn't have his towers up yet, so I
invited him to Multi @ my house. Planned to run Multi-2, but computers
refused
to talk, so just ran Multi-Single. Antenna issues prevented use of the
mono-banders, so we had to plug the tri-bander directly into one rig,
eliminating the possibility of SO2R. When automation is working right,
its
really easy to run bands with a mult, while still running on primary rig,
but
it was convoluted with the hybrid system this weekend.
20 stayed open longer than expected, and the
rate was good, so we stayed
there. Made a bunch of Q's, but lost lots of mults by not moving sooner.
Missed
WAS by only 3 - RI, AR, and OK. Did manage to get KG4 for a new dxcc
entity, and
XE3/K5ENS, a club member who moved to XE last year. Missed the bonus
station,
but still managed to top last year's score by 45K.
Thanks much to all who stopped by. The Louisiana
Contest Club tries to
insure that there and many opportunities for everyone to get a
Louisiana
contact in the LAQP, and preleminary reports show we gave out several
thousand
contacts. Thanks for your interest and hope to see you again next year.
For
those needing confirmation, my log will be uploaded to LOTW by Sunday
night.
73,
Mark, K5ER
