CQWW CW Score: K1DM

Gang,

     Here are the results from the K1DM/W1AN Multi-Single layed back effort this weekend.  We wanted to have fun and still spend some time on the air.  I think we met both goals.  It was too much fun to hear and work prefixes that I didn’t even recognize.  Many times the stations would come back to me first (that’s the High-power category at work I am sure).  On 40 meters, I had to get used to having the beam – an added decibel advantage over my normal wire antenna.

     I didn’t hear any of the CTRI CG gang, but that’s probably because I was mostly shooting the fish rather than trying to reel them in.  I was amazed at the rates I could get going by pointing and clicking on the band map or multiplier list.  Neither John or I tried much “running.”  When I did, the rate dropped, but remember, we were looking to have fun and not get burned out.

     Here is our summary:

     We’ll see if the formatting works here.  I will figure out how much time we spend next time I open N1MM
