Comments:
Didn't realize I would wind up so close to the SOLP record or I would have spent
another hour or two on the air! The raw score is 6K ahead of the current LP
record, but I have no doubt it won't survive the log check.
I haven't done a LP contest in 30 years. HP is sooo much fun- strange, exotic
DX answers you. Its not just a "Europe QSO Party". Almost 90% of my
LP Qs were with Europeans. But I wanted to try something different, so I did,
and it was fun!
Pregame goals were set- 3000 Qs (predicated on 75 Q/Hr for 40 hours), and 380
mults (went through the mult list, and figured I should be able to work that
many). Both goals were exceeded, the mult one rather easily. I was surprised
how relatively "easy" it was to break pileups, even LP. It takes
different techniques than HP, which is something I'll have to remember when I
go back to HP.
As always, a big thanks to Greg W1KM for the use of his great station! And
thanks to all the ops that contacted me.
