Another fantastic Father-Son Contesting Weekend in the books! This one was the
most enjoyable yet! My Dad, Bob NE1I, and I have a tradition of doing 160 Meter
contests together over the years and we've settled in on this one now for the
past three years.
Since neither of us owned a linear, we've always operated barefoot in the M/S
High Power category. This year, Dad decided on Thursday night to purchase an
amplifier for his own station and figured we could give it a good shake down
cruise this weekend.
As we should have expected, we equaled our previous best in this contest (89k
points) by Saturday morning.
Great contest weekend consisting of high noise, a new tier of painfully weak
stations calling, steak dinner, Cabernet Sauvignon, too much beer, another HRO
"boondoggle" on Saturday, and Dad posting a 93/hour - which he's never done
before.
Worked all the lower 48, missed VO1, VO2 and the Territories. Never heard any
Pacific.
73,
Bob WA1Z
