I’m not really that intense of a contester however I do enjoy participating in them. This contest put my new Icom IC-718 through its paces and worked without a hitch. The new 40 meter dipole performed really well and I got lots of good signal reports during the contest.
On the computer side of things, I’ve found that the N3FJP software works the best for me. I normally download the program in advance of the contest and get it all set up. Then on the day of the contest if I see that I am going to exceed the 30 contacts allowed in the trial version I register the program.
Every time I have done this N3FJP has responded very quickly with the registration number. I heartedly recommend his software. It is very well written and stable.
