I greatly appreciate Susan K5DU and Richard K5NA letting me come
out to their farm for the contest. This was my 17th consecutive
ARRL November Sweepstakes Phone, and the 10th I've operated as a
single-operator. It doesn't seem like I'm making much progress
up the standings of late. I don't really get on the air outside
of my major contests, and I think that might be holding me back.
I had a much better start that last year, with the first five
hours in a row over 100 QSOs/hour, and much higher peak rates than
last year. The transition to 40 meters always gets me. In recent
years, I have struggled intensely at this point in the contest.
I eventually had one good hour on 40 meters, but overall it was not
a good transition. My Sunday was not as good as last year, either,
despite making many more second-radio contacts.
