Once again proving that old formula: LP+LA=LS
(low power + low antenna = low score)
It tickles me how much contesting is like a baseball season. During
spring training, all things seem possible... league champ, world
series champ, most valuable player, home run leader, etc, etc. But
when things get going for real, reality rears its ugly head. Oh well,
WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR!! :-)
