But we still have problems trying to get operators for<br>this contest. Having to listen to voice splatter
for hours on end does not<br>attract too much interest. Moreover, I was the only operator from mid-night<br>until sunrise. By Saturday mid-night, I couldn't go anymore and got some rest,<br>so our low band counts suffered.<br><br>Regretfully, we did not run as much as we should have. Plus the conditions for<br>us on 10M were not as good as last year. We made up for some of that on 15M this<br>time. Overall, total Qs for both bands were about the same as last year. But<br>both our country and zone counts are down this year. And we missed Zone 29<br>entirely. Also, seems that activity on 160/80/40 was lower this time around.<br><br>But overall, we did have a good time. No real equipment problems - just<br>operator errors. Need to add some stub filters, as the Dunestars help, but are<br>not sufficient. And a nearby power-pole lightning arrestor started to act-up<br>intermittently.<br><br>We'll be
active for both SSCW/SSSSB and CQWW CW. Hopefully we will have more<br>help for CQWW CW.<br><br>73, Ted KN5O for W5RU<br><br>Contest Team Members: K1DW, W5AG, WA5JWU & KN5O<br><br><br>Posted using 3830 Score Submittal Forms at:<a href="http://www.hornucopia.com/3830score/" target="_blank">http://www.hornucopia.com/3830score/</a><br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>LCC mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:LCC@louisianacontestclub.org" href="mailto:LCC@louisianacontestclub.org">LCC@louisianacontestclub.org</a><br><a href="http://mail.louisianacontestclub.org/mailman/listinfo/lcc_louisianacontestclub.org" target="_blank">http://mail.louisianacontestclub.org/mailman/listinfo/lcc_louisianacontestclub.org</a><br><br><br> </div> </div> </blockquote></div> </div></body></html>
