A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that I try to make three contacts a day. So, how am I doing? Well, a couple of weeks ago (on January 24, 2006, to be exact), I noticed that I completed the 4000th QSO since I’ve been using a computer logbook.
Now, my first QSO in the computer log is dated February 20, 2003. Using the Date Duration Calendar, I calculated that there are 1,087 days between 2/20/03 and 2/11/06. Since I’m now up to 4,210 QSOs, that means I’ve averaged 3.87 QSOs/day over that period.
Now, that does include contests that I work here at KB6NU, such as the Fists Sprint I participated in today and the Minnesota QSO Party I worked last weekend. It does not, however, inlude contacts I make at Field Day or when our club does a special event station. At any rate, I’m kind of proud of my nearly 4 Qs/day.
