Comments:
I didn't really know what I was doing in this contest. My last
single operator effort in the NAQP was four years ago, when
conditions were quite different.
In retrospect, I'm sure my off-time strategy was suboptimal.
I should have taken at least half of my off time before 0000 UTC,
as I found the rate on 40 and 80 to be better than some of the
hours I spent earlier in the contest on 20, and I probably
could have worked more mults on the low bands if I hadn't had to
take three half hour off times after dark.
I tried and tried to work stations on 15 meters early on, but I
could only get one station to answer a CQ, and nobody I tried to
move there came through. The stations I did work there were
all S&P on the second radio, including a really cool QSO with a VE1.
I never heard a signal on 10 meters, and never really found a good
local candidate with whom I could run the bands. I did hear a
JA1 speaking Japanese in a ragchew on 15 meters, but couldn't get
his attention. I guess the band was really long.
I was pleasantly surprised at how many Europeans called in on
20 meters phone and knew to give me their name.
The 136 hour at the contest start was a lot of fun.
