Fun contest.
I operated as much as I wanted, but little 40/80, where the points are. I never could do the 'night time shifts', very well.
Didn't spent enough time on working mults, as I really enjoy running stations. The score reflects that.
Personally, I think they should spend energy on getting more operators on, rather than cutting the time. If there were 40% more operators on, we'd be complaining about it being crowded.

Contest started out well enough, I suppose. With a new rule this year that
requires competitive stations to have an audio file of their operating
AVAILABLE, if needed, I suppose. I used Audacity (freeware from the web) and it
seemed to work well enough, but it each computers on-board sound card, were 'all
over the place' as far as getting settings correct, and, hopefully, the same.
We'll see...

Miserable time was had by all! Off the air for over two hours because of really bad local thunderstorms. Three software problems ranging from 'bad' to 'terrible' caused us problems with tracking of serial numbers and QTC's. We wound up sending more QTC's than we had QSO's, and at the end of the contest, we still had about 20 in the buffer! The contest manager at DARC, DF7ZS, has kindly offered to take a look at the log to see if it can be salvaged. If not, it will be handled as a 'checklog'.

NR4M crew had a great time in WAE CW. Still working out kinks as we get the new contest station set up. Had problem with software configuration for serial numbers for the first hundred or less qsos. Notified DARC so no-one will get docked points. We'll CU next year with more weapons!
