Same here. Also embarrassingly small. But thanks to John Chauvin K5IZO for all his help in getting me started on this. An Elmer extraordinare! 73 JP Pritchard KG3JPP

I'll submit my logs, even though it is embarrassingly small. 73, Rob, KC5RET On Mon, Dec 12, 2016 at 2:07 PM, James Burrough via BVARC <[email protected]> wrote: Your contacts will get their points. There is another aspect to this. Not submitting a log means your participation is not counted by the sponsoring organization. This may seem trivial but your investment of the few minutes it takes to submit your log means that the sponsoring organization knows of your participation and knows you appreciate the hard work they do to put on these contests. Plus, it is good practice for you for the times you might have a bigger log to report.

The SWR on 10m is at 3.1 to 1, (I tried the suggested tuning method, no luck) but it still heard well and suppressed the background noise to almost nothing. I was only able to make 11 contacts in 6 hours of operating. My question is, if I don't submit my log, will the ops that contacted me still get their points? 73, Rob, KC5RET On Dec 11, 2016 6:54 PM, "Allen Brier N5XZ via BVARC" <[email protected]> wrote: N5XZ ARRL 10-Meter Contest Call: N5XZ Operator(s): N5XZ Station: N5XZ Class: SO Mixed Unlimited HP QTH: TX Operating Time (hrs): 24 Summary: Band QSOs Mults ------------------- CW: 445 83 SSB: 550 82 ------------------- Total: 995 165 Total Score = 475,200 Club: Texas DX Society Comments: WOW! I expected conditions to be lousy, which they were. What I didn't expect was to make almost 1000 QSO's and almost 500K points! This was far better than I expected! Quite some time ago, I made just over 1000 QSO's when band conditions were good. I didn't expect to make anywhere near that many. I had a really great run on Saturday, with N1MM+ rate meter clocking in at 403 for 10 minutes and the max rate tool showing 360/hour for 1 minute. Not bad for lousy band conditions. Imagine if the conditions were good! I managed to work two DL's, one EA8, one E51, a bunch of VK/ZL's and a slew of Central/South America/Caribbean stations. Not bad for Texas in these conditions. This is the first time I have done mixed mode for a long time, and it was for sure a lot of fun. Thanks as always to my wife for putting up with me this weekend.
