> Not bad for only having Sunday afternoon available for contesting.  Couldn't get
> any runs going on 20M or 15M in the first couple of hours.  Most of those Q's
> were S&P.  Tried to fill in with some FT8 contacts on 15.  But, that didn't
> work out very well.  Really couldn't get a RTTY S&P rhythm while trying to
> chase a few FT8 contacts on WSJT-X.  Decided it was a distraction with the time
> had available.  It appeared that the FT8 sub-bands were filled with signals.  I
> just didn't think I'd be able to match my RTTY rates.  My last 3 hours were
> really very good for me.  I probably should have moved to 40M 30 minutes sooner.
> Once on 40M I was able to get my best run of the day with 92Qs @ 103/hr rate.
> Rate slowed a bit when I migrated to 80M to find a spot after my 40M rate began
> to drop. Finished out my last hour with 90 Q's with a max rate 107/hr for the
> last 12 minutes!  Overall last 3 hours netted 219 Q/s for 73/hr rate.  I really
> really need to find a wire antenna that works better for me 20M.  I should have
> had more Q's on that band in the first few hours I operated.  Had fun and really
> enjoyed the DX calling me during my runs. Thanks for the Q's.
