This article posted after 2020 Field Day contains some very useful information about “Running” and excellent example of Laurie N1YXU controlling the run to achieve maximum contacts<\/em><\/p>\n
Because we could not get together this year for a club Field Day weekend, Laurie and I decided to participate from home in the 1D classification.\u00a0\u00a0 We would only use one station and take turns operating with Laurie operating SSB and me operating CW. We would run 100 watts and band selections would change based on time of day and propagation.\u00a0 We had a great time and made lots of QSOs.\u00a0 When it was all over I ended up with more CW QSOs, but we pretty much attribute that to on-the-air time.\u00a0 We were on the air for a total of 18 hours.\u00a0 I was on for 11.5 hours and Laurie was on for 6.5 hours.\u00a0 During that time we mostly RAN (we called CQ and other stations called us) but did some S\/P (Search and Pounce \u2013 calling other stations that were calling CQ).\u00a0 Running is much more effective to get the QSO count up.\u00a0 To that point, we ended up with a tie for one key metric.\u00a0 In the QSO\/Hour metric we both had a maximum rate of 144. \u00a0Perhaps some of you have \u201crun\u201d before and some of you are hesitant to give it a try.\u00a0 There are a couple of key factors when running.\u00a0 First, don\u2019t assume it is mandatory to copy the call of the station calling first time.\u00a0 You can ask for repeats, clarifications, or whatever may be needed to copy and accurate exchange of information.\u00a0 Second, you are in control of the speed, what station you come back to, etc.\u00a0 Listen to this recording and hopefully you will hear how easily Laurie manages the pile-up.\u00a0 At this time her rate is 135 QSO\/hr. \u00a0It is only 4 minutes \u2013 enjoy!<\/p>\n
