Subject: [BVARC] Sweepstakes 3030Scores
Good Evening,
I ran the Sweepstakes SSB contest this past weekend. I lost some
sleep and had to work out NOT to ever log a contest in QRZ. I ended up
purchasing N3FJP since they had the exact log for the contest. It seems pricey
at first glance, but since time is money, I have yet to have ever owned any
software that saves more time than the N3FJP. (No I am not getting a kick back,
it s just great software) Now to figure out What type of file, to send to
whom, to get me I worked an ARRL Contest ball cap?
All in all it was a great experience. The cool part of this one is getting the
year of when the other HAM's were first licensed, most of which were before I
was even born. I had a few people have me repeat my 16 a few times and plenty
of people welcomed me to the Contest.
There were some amazing numbers some of these stations were putting up. K4OV
had 740 to my 40 early on, AA5B had 1105 to my 70 , W6YI gave me serial number
1095, and K5TR was on 1461 by the time I reached 98.
I learned I need a Kurg Coffee pot in the shack and the duplicate contacts are
not my friend. My rig (FTdx1200) worked better than I did. I certainly have
plenty to learn about these contests. (What Is CW ?)
1. I know I can be faster, and I need to send the XLY and Kids to the mall. 2.
1500 watts is my friend3. Working in pairs is not cheating.4. Start on time,
stay awake for the the long haul and skip the pile ups. 5. A go fund me
account for a VET that needs a 100 foot tower and a spider beam may be
required.
I am not sure I was suppose to claim it on TDXS. I have paid no dues or
attending any meetings. I was up late and feeling a bit lonely. I am sure
someone will let me know if I owe them some money.
If you read down this far then you should check out the link to the 3030scores.
:) Have Fun!
