One word - UNBELIEVEABLE
My original plans called for a part time effort, so in order to
maximize club points I decided to go SO-unlimited (low power). My only goal
was to do the best I could at getting a sweep. Early on it didn't look too
good, as Saturday evening was interupted by a promised trip to Palace Pizza
in downtown Lakeland for dinner( FYI - best pizza in Polk County).
Went to bed with around 68 sections. Got up Sunday at 6:15 and op'd
till 9:45 when it was time for church and a meeting afterward with the
priest (no, i wasn't in trouble). 78 sections worked with NL and YT left, and
I figured they would be tough. Got back on at 3:15 and hoped for good
propagation to VE land. Hooked VO1HE when he started working by the
numbers and got lucky on 10 meters when I heard VY1JA at 20:36 for my
first ever sweep. Qso count at that point was 309. Since I now had
all 80 mult's I could sit back and try to run stations. I Op'd about four
of the next five hours and accumulated another 272 Q's. Last ten rate
meter peaked at 175, and the last 100 hung between 60 and 70 most of the
time.
