| N2BZD | SO LP 10M | 10 m Propagation was great |
| N2JNR | SO QRP 10M | Initially I was planning to use my buddihex and to head out to a park to operate, though the lousy weather over the weekend kept me inside, so I used my buddipole in the yard (HOA community) with my kx3 and decided I'd stick only on 10 meters and operate QRP. QRP on SSB was definitely work requiring a lot more patience. S&P really was the only option here as the few times I tried calling CQ brought little/no results. My first 2 contacts back-to-back were with France following Belgium and Spain, that made it rather exciting with only 5 watts and my buddipole only up about 12'. Cyprus, Morocco and Madeira Islands all brought a smile to my face. If I could hear them, I did my best to work them! Some solid QRP DX: Morocco, Cyprus, Madeira Islands, England as well as South/Central America, Australia, Japan and a handful in the Caribbean. So glad many of the stations were patient and took the time to pull my signal. Though, the amount of contacts wasn't high at all (87) nor my score, the results as a QRP station on SSB with my buddipole couldn't have been better and made it both fun and exciting to see what 5 watts on SSB can do |

| N4IW | SO LP ALL | This week I was ready when the contest started with N1MM, and the station was all set up beforehand. I had set things up to be fully automated, if necessary, but my voice held up ok. At first, I used the automation some, but I found that I had many less requests for repeats for serial numbers when using my live voice rather than my automated recordings which I think need tweaking with Audacity to amplify them a bit. I tried to run a few times but was never really successful with my puny signal only getting just a few calls. I?m guessing not many people needed another run of the mill North American N4 prefix. I knew Sunday was going to be busy with running sound for two services at Church and with a big family lunch, so Saturday was the day. It was fun to have so many multipliers available almost all the time. I found 40 to be rather chaotic with stations on top of each other most of the time. I enjoyed being on 15 and especially 10 which is always very quiet for me. The stations on 10 were always nicely spread out and easily workable, but I tried to stay on 40 as much as possible since the point values were higher. Still being a N1MM newbie, I never quite got the band map working where it was very helpful for me. I need to spend more time in the documentation to figure all the filtering out. Also, I am looking forward to our next Central VA PVRC meeting later in April where this topic will be covered. I worked many Europeans, a couple of JAs, VKs, and a ZL. I was surprised how few South American stations I heard. I was sorry I was unable to contribute more to the club's total, but my time was very limited. By the time all my events were over late Sunday afternoon, I was too worn out to get back on the radio. I was really surprised by how badly we were beaten by some of the other contest clubs and how few of our members were listed on Contest Online ScoreBoard. Hopefully many of our members were not logged on there and the results will be better in the official tally done by the contest sponsor. Also, I am guessing many others had activities that kept them busy just like I did. Easter weekend is not the best weekend for a contest, but it was fun, nonetheless |
