I think I forgot to post a breakdown of my effort.
My QSO count was down a little from last year.? I think due to some poor band conditions during the week plus the never ending barrage of thunderstorms that had my tower cranked
down and antennas grounded at some point almost every day.?
The overall increase in QSOs over last year is great, probable due to increased participation on our part.
I heard the split CW pileup generated by one of the other states one night and was a bit miffed.? After a day or two I realized why.? There were many on line complaints about that
state being very rare.? Based on what I listened to in that pile up, only experienced contesters or DXers were getting through.
Our main audience in this event is the every day ham with no interest in the previously mentioned.? I am a CW almost only kind of guy and like many of my CW team mates, our rag
chew speeds might exceed the wildest dreams of many, but I am willing to QRS as much as needed to accommodate anyone that calls.? QSO rate is not the goal here.?
I think that we saturated the bands is good.? It puts everyone on a more even playing field.? Lets keep it up.
Another great week celebrating our Country!

I just paid using Venmo.? It was very easy.? To start, I needed to give David’s user name (given below).? Then it asked for the amount to pay.? Lastly it asked for the last 4 digits of David’s phone number (also given below) if the sender
wants to verify the payment is indeed going to David.? You don’t need to enter the last 4 digits if you don’t care to verify the recipient.?

There has been soooo much discussion about using split on CW.? In no case did I find it necessary because the time slots I had available were not at the beginning and at good band opening
times, but I did hear others using split when it was clearly the only way to tame the crowd.

Report from Massachusetts:
?
Greetings to All from Team K2H in Massachusetts,
?
We were down a few ops from last year including one major op that made over 4K contacts last year. He is helping with WRTC this summer. But we still did pretty well
with 18,974 contacts. Most were made with SSB, FTx, CW, and others (Satellite, etc).
?
Some of us had some issues with QRN/QRM, T-Storms, and the noise floor and our jobs got in the way of getting on the air. But we all had fun. Probably the most surprising
was how well the last day of the event went with it being our 2nd best day of the event.
?
I've already got most of my ops saying they can not wait until next year and also have a few new people contacting me about being an op next year.
?
My personal goal for next year is to reduce my noise floor at least a few S units. That will make a huge difference in being able to pick out those weaker stations.
?
Now to watch the new mail person bring all the card requests and she must be wondering what the heck they all are.
?
73 to all from K2H,
?
?

My QSO count was down a little from last year.? I think due to some poor band conditions during the week plus the never ending barrage of thunderstorms that had my tower cranked down and antennas grounded at some point almost every day.?
The overall increase in QSOs over last year is great, probable due to increased participation on our part.
I heard the split CW pileup generated by one of the other states one night and was a bit miffed.? After a day or two I realized why.? There were many on line complaints about that state being very rare.? Based on what I listened to in that pile up, only experienced contesters or DXers were getting through.

I am a CW almost only kind of guy and like many of my CW team mates, our rag chew speeds might exceed the wildest dreams of many, but I am willing to QRS as much as needed to accommodate anyone that calls.?
