- This ARRL November Sweepstakes CW was anything but enjoyable. - This was my 2nd SS contest. It is definitely becoming my favorite. Last year I used my K2 QRP and had no problems working stations but had to stop after 100. This year I used my K2/100 and wanted to beat last years score. 250 contacts and 68 sections. Not great but I'm still happy with it. You can imagine what it felt like to receive a 1200 serial number and give out a 100 :) I sent by hand with a set of paddles and did all paper logging. Copied most of the info from the high speed operators ahead of time so all I had to worry about was getting their serial numbers. I did find a lot of the stations were pretty good about slowing the info down a bit when they heard my slow code. Ok, need to get the copy speed up and maybe double my score for next year? Yes, that's what I'm going to do. Had a great time and someday I'll catch up with technology.
