Comments:
Played mostly S&P as there were unlimited workable stations from the packet cluster. Generally good band conditions. Not many hours in chair. Used RBN with filters for local spotters and CW.

This has always been one of my favorite contests. It started when I lived down in PVRC country (MDC). It disappoints me that I am not able to post the scores that I once did, but that’s life, I guess.
Here is my result…

Sunspots have awakened. Need to put more time in the chair! Getting ready took more time than expected. PC’s didn’t want to cooperate. Right click wouldn’t work on one and N1MM refused to update on the other with blue screen 5 minutes before start. Never have seen that before. At last minute all went OK and flawless for remaining time. I guess the mice finally left for quieter places and more wires to chew.
See you in the CQWW-CW.

Planning included strategically picking locations on or very near state and
county lines for swift rover changes. This year we used a new antenna that could
be mounted in a few minutes on or off the rear ball hitch. One man could raise easily
to over 20 feet for 40 and 20M. Might try 80M next year.
In SUFMA we were not sent packing as we were last year by the BPD from the
streets of Boston. This year we set up adjacent to a quiet cemetery. We stayed
on CW with headsets so as not to disturb the neighbors and them not us.
Our K3 was powered off a marine type of battery with a solid state booster that
allowed us the many hours of run time independent of the vehicle. Sadly this was
limiting as near the end voltage dropped below the critical 9 volts losing us 45
minutes of operating time. The final planned stop in NEWRI then had to be
aborted without ability to plug direct to the vehicle. Lesson learned.
Good pizza and beverage at W1XX ended our long day Sunday.
