[SJDXA] Contest overview

Mon Feb 25 16:17:18 EST 2013

I think we need the full spots. As the contest goes on, they slow down and I would rather not miss anything. Our problem is maybe that we were not getting enough spots? Or, I think that we relied too much on the spots instead of scanning the band manually in between checking the spots. ???

See ya' in the Pileups!

hmmm a one liner.......

Hey we still need Utah, John what are you working.......Utah!

Things get strange as the night grows on.

As a relative newby to the group, I too am proud of the hours spent.  Ops rotated in and out and no one ever sat back and left a transmitter unoccupied, some do logging better, some pounce better.  Maybe next year we build the schedule based on who wants to run, who wants to check and who wants to pounce and schedule accordingly.

To avoid confusion next year, maybe we should filter packet spots on most machines to those spotted in the us and keep one computer open to all world wide spots.  Just a thought and easy to do.

Don’t forget, ke2oi-dxc.dyndns.org port 7300 goes back to WB2KXA and has passed 18 million spots since it being turned on and I can build any filter set for a user though not perfect but close.  I added that it is the flagship node of sjdxa in the login.  Please use it.  

Thanks for a great weekend

John

SJDXA members,

I would LOVE to collect your memories from any special contest related stuff to put together in my overview of the contest.

Please send to me as soon as you can. Even if it is only a short sentence.

I want to congratulate you all this year! What a special contest this was!

I was proud to see that all of our regular operators had really improved their skills to the point where you all knew what to do, and how to do it.

It made THIS contest very special! We have become a highly skilled phone contest team!

What made it extra special was that everyone seemed to know their skills, and where to use them.

Yes, we still need some improvement. Always. But this was by far the best team effort we have had in the 10 years that we have been doing the CQWW 160 SSB contest!

Yes! GREAT JOB!

I will put out stats later, but as of right now, this was the highest score we ever had, and what makes it even more special is that we all know that conditions were not that special. So, to do this under THESE conditions really tells the story!

CONGRATS and feel proud for what you accomplished! Now, let’s HOPE that we won! 

So far, it looks good. Nobody else has posted a score even close to ours in the multi-op category North America..

Jerry, WB9Z posted a higher score, but as a single-op. He had 450 QSO’s MORE than us, 9 fewer DX but 3 more S/P’s mults. Being in the Midwest helped him pick up the extra 3 s/p mults by being closer to them (probably NV, WY, VE5) but I’ll ask him later. It also helped him pile up the QSO’s as he did not have the Atlantic Ocean to his east like we do. 

See ya' in the Pileups!

73!
