[CVCC] W4HZ & W4PM ARRL DX CW

[H. M. Motley, Jr,]

Here's the results of two CVCC operations.  I heard KG4W, N3UA, WK4Y, and W4MYA on.  I wonder if there were others?
I'll be collecting the info from all CVCC entries so if you took part in the contest please send the information to me.  A format similiar to those below would be nice but at a very minimum send total QSO's, total Multipliers, and total claimed score. My e-mail is hmmjr at comcast.net. We will enter this contest as CVCC this year.  Hopefully we can get more participation for the SSB part of this contest on March 6th and 7th.  We could use operators at Jonathan's QTH for that and of course please get on from home too!

We could sure could have used more CW ops at W4HZ to fill the chair for more than 23 hours and get the multiplier and Q totals up.

Rig: Omni VII, ALS-600, 400W
Antenna: 176' Center Fed at 60'

I split my time between assisting with a multi-single at W4HZ and my home
station.  In two shifts with a total of 11 hours operating at W4HZ I made 718
Q's.  The additional 5 db or so of power and REAL antennas made a big
difference.  It was quite a let down to come home to my wire in the trees. 

I only had a total of 23 hours operating time at the two stations since I did
silly stuff like sleeping, eating and even watching a movie with the XYL!

Boy was 15 meters great this year especially when using the big tri-bander at
W4HZ.  Even at home I did OK in the time I spent on that band.  If only 10
meters would open half as well!

Thanks for the Q's.  I hope you had as much fun as I did.
