A good exercise in CW handling.
It was fun and a long night.
Propagation poor but not as poor as it looked.
The PACC brings a lot of activity some hams see it as QRM .. anyway sure that every tiny opening is used during the 24 hours of this contest.
The WAEDX RTTY is in the same weekend that is a pity but gives some indication about the real propagation.
In between could work with Cameroon TJ9PF on 160 for a new one. ( then needed my PA )
Had to stop at 04 until 07 to rest no takers then anyway only few hours sleep gave a sort of jet-lag Sunday afternoon
This time i did low power CW K3 single.
Assisted ? i had the cluster screen on i guess yes everyone is assisted almost this way.
Very pleased with this result. I was not thinking of passing the 1000Q barrier given the poor propagation with low power dipoles and wire's.
My 80m vertical is at few meters distance on one side of the metal mast at the other side is the 160m top loaded GP. This could not work... but it does 80m works relative fine.
This is interesting stuff:
Yagi vs Vertical

Nice feature in N1MM auto update your score if you want to show it to the other contestants http://www.getscores.org/2011/pacc.html
Only 3 PA's shared there real time contest score..
No one in the same SO LP CW to compare my result.
It was a race in multipliers with PA6V but in mixed more multipliers can be found that was obvious.
They where about 30-40 multies behind Sunday early morning but came closer every hour and there was nothing i could do about that. A multi / single operator station comparison but it was interesting to see their progress.
The continent Africa in CW is only 1 ZS6 and a few EA8 that is not a real help.
Met PA6V in de strijd ... om de multiplier ze liepen steeds verder in
en vlak voor het eind hadden ze me ingelopen ;-)
Helaas Africa was behalve EA8 totaal afwezig in CW
Andere contesters houden de score angstvallig geheim ?
btw this blog i can just not find a way in the prefabricated functions to design it like i want same i had with weblog.nl and wordpress so it is in the default state I see other Blogs having the for me hidden possibilities like a Menu bar etc.
