>   I decided to get some CW/ N1MM contest logging practice in this weekend
by
> participating in the CQ WW WPX Contest.  Most of the time I was on
frequency
> calling CQ trying to capture and type in calls.  It's one thing to scan
the frequencies,
> listen to QSOs to get the station's call sign correct and understand the
sequence of
> numbers they're sending then give a call with confidence.  It's quite
something else
> to be on frequency and pick out a call from mulitiple stations calling
along with
> QRP, mobile and other weak signal stations.

>   Operated 12 hours in the contest.  Tried time on four of the bands but
20 meters
> with the new wire beam antenna was most productive.  Had between 400 and
500
> watts output on 20.  Hope to get the power output up once I rebuild
additional
