ARRL CW DX Contest
开云体育
Brian,
Yep, that was me down here in Saint Simons, Georgia.? I brought my all band QMX+ running 4 watts and a long wire 10' high.? 58 contacts in 4 ? hours of operating with a multiplier of 48.? Unfortunately, I didn't think I to claim affiliation to the XRX club
until I saw your?entry which was after I had submitted mine.
Lots of fun!

I operated the CW DX Contest again this year.? I wanted to beat my 175 contacts last year, and just barely did, with 178 and 103 multipliers.? Fortunately, the Daytona 500 was rain-delayed, or I wouldn't have been able to have enough time.
If I compared my logs from last year to this year, I'd guess most of my contacts?were with the same stations I worked last year.
Contesting in these big ones is a little weird, with many stations being essentially professional contesters and automating most everything.? With N1MM you really don't have to touch your key or paddle.? One button or click sends your callsign, another one
sends your exchange.? ?But it is still kind of fun, but I will probably just occasionally dabble in contests.
And I heard a weak K2OID, from GA?? Were you running QRP?
