[TVARC] Not So Braggin

[Frank M]

Well, after making a speech on a TVARC Contest Group at Thursdays meeting, I decided I had better do some learning and practicing for myself.
As some of you know I am a Mac computer person. However, the number 1 contesting software, N1MM, is not available on a Mac.
So, I installed it on a PC laptop - yes, I have a PC - just don’t know how to use it!! After a lot of trial and error, I used it for a few times this weekend in the CQ WW VHF Contest. I was limited to 6M but I gave it a whirl.
I was able to use N1MM for CW and USB but have not yet got it up and running for FT8 or other modes. For FT8, I reverted back to the Mac and sent ADIF files to N1MM.
Anyway, here are my results.


Band conditions not so good. Lots of QSB. Less CW operation than I expected. SSB got pretty active for a while on Sunday.

Now for the next contest!!!!
Just a quick note: Anyone interested in joining the TVARC Contest Group, contact either KA1AF, ND4G or K2PS. It is a new group within TVARC, for TVARC members, and no experience necessary. We want to make contesting fun for TVARC.
