Hi, all.

 

Yesterday was fairly successful for me with regard to the North American QSO
Party CW contest.  I made a total of 302 QSO's in approximately 9 hours of
operating.  I got 136 multipliers as well, which led to a total score of
41072 points.

 

I had a lot of fun on 10 through 40 meters.

 

Didn't do as much operating as I would have liked on 80 and 160, but at
least was able to add to my mults on those bands.

 

80 and 160 were quite noisy, due to thunderstorms in the southern and
southeastern US.

 

The only person from the list I heard was Lloyd late last night on 80
meters.

 

My one disappointment was that I did less operating on 80 and 160 than I had
planned.  For some reason, which I have to figure out between now and next
week-end's SSB contest, my timer in the N3FJP software indicated an
incorrect total hours of operating time.  My Cabrillo log that was just
submitted to the National Contest Journal is accurate, but N3FJP incorrectly
noted my total operating time.  This is why I operated only 9 hours, instead
of the 10 hours I could have operated.  If I had been able to operate the
full 10 hours as I had intended, I probably would have broken my record of
329 contacts from last January.
