K5TR Operating the 2005 WPX SSB contest Running Rate. You can find the log here: www.kkn.net/~k5... The log entries start at about 0045z. You can see the rate sheet here: lists.contestin...
K5TR has lightening-fast speed, hears all these incoming call signs quickly. This is a skill that takes time. Radio contact "contesting" has become a kind of factory-like production of accumulating as many station contacts as possible to win the contest. The Ham operators need to be "robots on speed" to win these fiercely competitive contests which often last an entire weekend. Good job, K5TR !! '88
Why didn't the op give a correction to AC3C when he miscopied the report at 2:48? (He was sent #194 but he copied #14, because that's what he repeated back. Usually if a good op repeats the number back, it's because they weren't 100% certain they got it correct and they want to give you a chance to correct them if necessary. If you don't correct them, they assume they did get it right. Yes, one could argue that they could have just asked for a repeat. But it probably depends on how confident they are they got it right, and how confident they are that you can hear them in the clear well enough to hear them repeat it back to you for you to confirm it.)
