Comments:
I may have a new QTH to operate from! I started a School club when I was
in Middle School about 3 years ago and it's only 2 miles from my house so
I operated from there. This was probably one of my all time favorite
contest although you wouldn't know it from my score this year. I missed
the first HOUR AND A HALF because I was putting up my first ever outdoor
antenna at home. Then I went to the school and operated missing another 3
and half hours due to dinner and having to go home at 05:00Z (12 PM our
time). I also spent almost 2 hours trying to work VK0IR and I was
successful and I was able to get the guys name to put into the contest
log and I gave him mine. I still had to paper log this contest. I was
surprised at how many people couldn't understand the name ANDREW except
for those on the internet of course. Nice hearing K5TR, KF9YT, and K6LL
on all bands. Sorry I don't have an antenna for 160 otherwise I would
have done much better.
Strangest and funniest names: Dirty, Ugly, Cajun, Reno (in Nevada),
Sharp, Thad,, Liberty, and Barn. The PIG FARMERS, in one word, Ughh! They
really got me on 80 meters after 40 became totally unuseable due to BC
interference.
All in all I had lots of fun. See ya next year.
