Comments:
Sometimes having a hand full of beverage switches may not be so good.
I'm sure ZL6QH was thinking about going for coffee before I finally
found an antenna that would bring him out of the noise.
I made the choice of using the 'spot net' before the contest.
Had it set up for viewing.
Never used it once for the 'section count'.
Used it two or three times for a 'country" .
However, I believe it's kinda like being pregnant.
I either used it or I didn 't.
One nice thing about being old.
I am apt to forget the hard times I had in the contest
by the time Stew Perry comes around.
Run frequency is kinda like some middle east countries today.
Some dispute about who has ownership and who is sliding down.
WE record the contest and register it at the county court house
in case there is ever any doubt about why I didn't give it up.
I bet the ZL's, JA's, KH6's and the KL7's don't have any idea
as to how much fun they put in the contest for us.
Marlene and I thought about selling our farm and relocating our
160 meter contest station up in 'nny' or 'RI'.
'RI' showed up before we got the plan off the ground.
And when we looked closly we decided we could not afford
enough room in the 'nny' area to put up a 10 meter dipole.
So we look forward to Stew Perry from the 'Arkansas Chicken Farm"
