Is Sweepstakes happening this year? Is there club competition starting this weekend?
?Radio silence? so far to build enthusiasm unless I?ve missed something.

Jim,

I?m planning to give it a full effort this weekend in my quest for an unassisted clean sweep.  I got some very good ideas from Bruce on how to configure N1MM to enhance my effort while remaining unassisted. 

Go PVRC!

It was a very good year for QRP and there should be some high scores.
Multiple bands being open spreads everyone out so 5 watts stands a chance
of being heard, at least some times. Missed what should have been some easy
mults like EWA and QC. Oh well. SO2R made a big difference, but I can't
stay in the chair for long hours like in the olden days so I gave up my
chance to be competitive by taking a LOT of breaks. My target was 500 Q's
and a nice round score but a last minute caller came through on my 80M run
and I couldn't disappoint him. Log checking will of course cut me down.
Golden logs are not in my vocabulary.
I continue to be puzzled by how many ops copy you perfectly while others in
the same area with a relatively clear channel CQ in your face. I suspect it
is in the receivers that can't handle adjacent strong signals and overload
the AGC. Or maybe it's something between the ears of the operators.
For a completely different game I'll be VP5M in CQ WW CW. Rock on!
Thanks for the Q's.
73/72,
Jim K4QPL

Soapbox:  About six hours of CW Contesting fun.  I knew I wouldn't have
much time this weekend so decided to see what I could do the old fashioned
way - just  key, tuning knob, and ears.  No spots, no assistance.  I missed
eight sections for the sweep but I really didn't expect to get as many as I
did.  Conditions seemed really good.  I was able to get some good runs in,
even with my crappy antenna.  Still one of my favorite contests.  The

PVRC-NC will hold our December Chapter Meeting at 6 PM on 1 December.  By
then we will all have had our fair share (or more) of Turkey, Pumpkin pie
and all the things we are now just salivating to see on the table..  Dreams
of the 2022 sweepstakes, CQ WW DX, and the WAE RTTY contests are in the
history books.  And while, fer sure, we're all thinking about what we will
do better next year, let's not forget a couple of 160 meter contests and
(of course) the 10 meter contests which are looming in this next month.
Visions of new radios and other radio goodies float in our minds as we
think about the Christmas holidays rapidly approaching.  I'm just hoping to
get a new can of flagpole magic grease to make my antenna more effective.
Lots of good stuff happening in December.  And it all starts with our
PVRC-NC meeting on the first.  If you're local, please come in person.
It's great seeing y'all in person.  Otherwise, please join us on the Zoom
call.  Here's the deets:

thanks  for the q's  73 dave n4cwz\

I knew It would end up this way but I have a greater appreciation and
respect for ssb ops. This is a tuff one!!!!  I have been known to
stutter,so cw is my preference:) But,I thought I would give this a go.  I
had done just a tick,my contesting buddy was out of town. He got back into
town Sunday afternoon and text me saying " no clean sweep"?  Called me
out:)  So I jumped on 75 and had a good time. I was right behind Don,W4bbt
as I was going up the band.  I had my cheat sheet for the exchange,in
order,trying to remember not to say "please copy" and was happy with how I
ended up. My buddy N4nto,got me in the end. Toto and I took defeat in
stride!!!  73 dave n4cwz  Looking forward to cqww dx this weekend. I will
feel more at home:) 73

What a fun contest! The high bands performed like the olden days with 10M
open to to everywhere for hours on end. Thanksgiving is a family week at
Harbour Rock so we can't do a team effort like the other contests (unless
Thanksgiving comes on a different week once every few years). So I do the
classic SOLP. 24 hours is just the right amount of BIC for me. I knew the
80M inverted V was down from the last storm but didn't know the hoist rope
at the tower had broken requiring bringing the
AB-577 down to a reachable level to thread the pulley. Couldn't do it on
Friday when we arrived so had to take a break during the contest Saturday
afternoon.
The 160M always has to be erected but the jungle was reclaiming the area
around the base and the FCP and there was a lot of the endemic poisonous
weed that is painful if touched and dangerous if the juice gets in your
eyes, so that job was left for the moment. Hence one 160m QSO force loading
the 80m on 160 which made even the cross islands qso with VP5Y hard to do.
The score has not been reduced for the extra 24 minutes I went over the 24
hour so I guess the log people will reduce the Classic portion of my score.
At one point every QSO was a dupe which was getting boring and a waste of
time. I guessed that there was a bad spot and people were calling without
listening. Eventually I figured out the best thing was to QSY so I wouldn't
be under that spot. Problem solved. Amazed at what appears to be the normal
procedure for Assisted must be "Call first, listen later and only if
required (and Morse capable)." I ID at least every third QSO so they can't
blame me!
Otherwise, thanks for the Q's and the fun weekend!

Jim, K4QPL, VP5M
