[PaQSO] CW

[Evan Duffey]

40m was a bit long during the party if that was your band of choice. 80m
was by far the better band in state. Let it be known for next year that if
you want to do well you need to be solid on 80m! Also, if you are using a
vertical you will tend to get less close in contacts than a dipole would
produce.

Despite having two stations on CW and two on phone, we finished with only
335 SSB contacts out of 918 total. Part of that is our CW ops (NK8Q and
K3NG) were fantastic, and part was our QRP signal. Still, CW is alive and
well, including in state. The absence of N2CU's mobile this year might have
contributed some. He's usually in people's logs multiple times on CW.
