Tuning around on 40m yesterday, I ran into two contests:
- CQ- Western Electric. This contest is primarily for Western Electric employees. The unique thing about this contest is that the exhange includes an employee’s years of service, and that number also serves as the multiplier. Non-employees count as having one year of service. The three hams I worked must have hated it, since I didn’t give them much of a multipler. I may go down to the shack and try to work a few more stations and then submit the log electroincally.
- OK/OL DX Contest. There were several strong OK/OL stations coming in on 40m last night. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to work any of them. They must have been running high power to be coming in so strong here and not hearing me at all. Or, maybe they just weren’t listening for weaker stations.
This reminds me that I have to send in the logs for the FISTS Fall Sprint today….
