[PaQSO] WU3U PRELIMS

[morsenut at aol.com]

Hello all, 

Well, I didn't reach my goal surpassing last year's score....came about 3000 points short, final score will be around 99 thousand points.

Overall QSOs were down from 594 to 517.  I did manage two additional mults this year, up from 115 last year.

I was lucky to even be able to compete this year - was in the hospital for a week earlier in the month, so I am thankful that I was able to get on at all.

My antenna was about 4 feet lower, that may have been a factor...

Still, all in all, 98 thousand points with a low power set up and compromise antennas - I'll take that any day.

Where were the west coast stations?  Every year they are not actively calling the test.

Missed a lot of mults in VE land too.

I think I may have reached my goal of winning Philadelphia County - have to see what the other PHI stations did - do post.

Thanks all for a great PAQP,

Tim
