1st International DominoEX Contest: Summary

The following from Andrew O'Brien also see http://www.southgatearc.org/news/may2006/domino_ex.htm

Thanks to all those that participated in this experimental contest. It was nice to see three continents represented.

Certificates will be going out via email in the next couple of weeks to the following stations:

The amount of QSOs were understandably low since this is a new mode for contesting. The general feedback was that it was better than RTTY for decoding, just as fast as RTTY, but not as easy tune in as some would have liked. It is not as error free under weak conditions as Olivia but the VK and ZL to USA QSO's were all accomplished well despite poor conditions.

As for the contest its self, looks like I won!
Can't have that since I am the contest scorer, too much of a conflict of interest there :>).

I have a couple more logs to cross-check and score (I do it
manually), so will post the results in a week or two.

If you have a log you would like to submit, I will still accept them.

Below are some of the "soapbox" comments received.

Great mode, and after working ZL1BYZ at that time of the day I have to say that DominoEx works as least as good as RTTY - if not better!  I was looking forward to this contest; unfortunately I got ill one hour after the contest got started... Better luck next year.

SOAPBOX: Did not hear much activity and my time was limited. Used a 200mhz computer and it seemed to work OK. It really sends quick.

I did only hear one station and worked him.
