What fun! Who would have thought you could work 90% of WAS in an off and on bit
of radio play during an in-state QSO party? Worked all states but DE, LA, HI, NV
and SD. Called CQ for 90% of the QSOs. Total of about 9 hours in the chair -
some of this was calling CQ with no takers.
Band conditions seemed to be a bit poor. Nothing happening on 15m from here,
although I heard K4EA working stations there, I couldn't get anything going. 20m
was short early on Saturday, but then went long. 40m was the big money band --
and I don't even have a good antenna on this band. Got on 80m late Saturday,
but the band seemed abandoned.
Noticed after the contest that I was spotted a few times on the cluster. Thanks
guys.
Best moment was working S51CK -- he was calling CQ Georgia QSO Party on 20m. Oh,
and HK3JJH called in three different times! That guy was everywhere.
A couple of guys asked me to go to CW, but I was doing Phone-only. Now I realise
there's no category for phone-only. Doh! Next time.
For a short while on 40m, NJ8J and I were just a couple of kilohertz apart on
40m.
Missed KU8E/M and W4AN, but worked K4BAI before they started the rover. I'm
guessing Jeff just wasn't on phone much.
