Soapbox:
The low bands were a big disappointment for this time of year but at least I
worked everybody I heard. For someone who has never been through the top
end of a solar cycle band conditions on 10m and 15m continue to amaze me.
Had a 150 hour on 10m and three other 100+ hours on 10m and 15m. Too bad it
didn't last longer. Spent the last hour S&P looking for mults. Apologies
to all who had to deal with my rudimentary CW abilities.
Highlight: Being QRO for the first time and having guys on 80m come back to
my first call!
Lowlight: Being QRO for the first time and having the guy across the street
phone me in the middle of the contest to report that I was 59 on every
appliance and audio device in his house...
Only 10 more days until sunrise here :-)
