I got in almost 3 more hours this afternoon, for a total of 7 or 8, I think.
Subject to checking through my Cabrillo log output, it looks like 266 QSOs,
for a score of 167,399. Quite a bit down from previous CQWW CW efforts, but
I really wasn't taking it very seriously. If I had been, I would have spent
a lot of time working Europeans on 15 and 20 yesterday morning. On 80 and
40 meters I had 34 countries and 16 zones each. My KT34XA beam can only
rotate from north to east at the moment; it could be worse. I run about 100
watts from a Drake T4XC. And this was my first half-serious effort in the
CQWW using the N1MM logger program with Window-Eyes. I also used it in
phone and CW Sweepstakes contests. I need to set up more windows that will
alert me when I make stupid mistakes like typing a callsign into a zone
field, etc. But it is beginning to make sense to me, I think, and I'll
probably stop trying to use CT on my DOS computer. Results could change, as
I have discovered that part of my log shows up as SSB and I have to figure
out how to fix this and rescore the contest.
