Well, here's a timeline of the contest effort...
1900-2300z Working on taxes in TurboTax, UGH!
2300z Order pizza for the family (ordered too late!)
2325z Pickup the pizza
(Maybe I should of had it delivered!)
2345z Eat the pizza...fast!
2355z Check in with SMC gang on 40m, Setup TR
Missed first 16 minutes...
oh well, advanced preparation next time, hi.
...trying to get rid of the "band map" in TR
but it's a default, DUH!
0100z 30 Q's...encouraging given the slow start, hi.
Burning up the ESC key...
Ugh, taxes and contest in same day..headache, hi
I thought about using the name "IRS" to freak everyone out
0135z worked PI4COM in some other contest on 40m
0230z Heard someone on 20m give out AK mult...um
Cat comes by for some petting...
0238z cat leaves and I work AK (tnx WL7KY)
0320-0325z Catch TV news about hazing in the Marines
0330z Watching weather on TV news while CQing on 40m.
...snow, again!
Where's that 80m antenna when you need it?
0354z Geez, a couple minutes left and the XYL wants to
be tucked into bed.
Hardest name to get, STEVE, goes real fast!
Nice to work some DX! C6AKP, HC8N, XE1/AA6RX...cool!
Side note: Last game played tonight in Maple Leaf Gardens
and the Blackhawks actually won the game!
Miracles do happen, hi
February 12th is Abraham Lincoln's Birthday
- that explains the use of "ABE", hey, he was tall too!
Wow, them are some 'nice folks' on 80m SSB after the
contest, geez, can't we all get along? Maybe that's
why I operate CW more than SSB!
See you all in the fall CW Sprint!
I, by virtue of my statement below, have taken part in the
NCJ North American Sprint, conscientiously applying my most
unethical interpretation of the rules for this contest
as set forth in the National Contest Journal.
