Comments:
Too tired after returning from a business trip to consider a full-time effort.
Decided Sunday around 2100Z that I'd at least to go for a sweep if I could find
a VY1. KD6WW/VY0 was booming in on 20, so I worked him and I was committed.
Naturally, 3 more VY1s called in later on 15. NM was the tough one. I had a nice
pileup going on 40, pausing every 5 QSOs or so to ask for NM. After about an
hour, NA5S called in to give me the mult saying he saw W9TN spot me on packet
noting that I needed NM. I do not know W9TN, we are not members of the same
club, so don't restart the "cheerleader" thread, OK? (TN - I owe you a beer at
Dayton...). That was #78. Took me about 10 minutes to find an EPA on 75M (over
an hour of CQing there earlier produced none!), then a quick QSY to 20M with the
beam turned South to find WP3R for the sweep. Never dreamed I'd see the day when
VY1s and VOs (worked 2) were more plentiful than EPA.
73,
Doug K1DG
