Subject: Jan VHF score
Well the score is down from previous attempts. My goal was to crack 5000,
which I did accomplish.
Single op low power:
Band Points Grids
6 23 5
2 89 17
432 58 8
902 4 1
Claimed score = 5394
without looking at prior attempts, I'd say my 432 score was improved (fixed
amp bugs, better preamp), while the 6m score was down plenty.
Thanks to W0AMT and KF0Q - the multiops can find the rovers who show up at
unpredictable times on unpredictable frequencies - this is one single-op
that sure likes being able to tune to a preset frequency at a preset time
and actually find you guys there!
Low points: people asking for driving directions on 144.200 and not QSY'ing.
Also when a couple locals go off frequency to ragchew about how the contest
is going for you, could you actually ID occasionally? Every year I tune
into such a ragchew and wonder if I've actually worked you or not. Chances
are very good I have, but every year I completely miss out on working
several locals.
High points: working into EM39 on 2M, getting callsigns (but not complete
exchange) on WSJT to the east coast on sporadic MS.
