Comments:
This was my first contest by myself operating at home! I was scared ( remember,
I'm only 12 and operating alone for the first time) but I got the hang of it
after awhile. I wanted to do November Sweepstakes because I enjoy contesting, a
lot!
In the "Shack", there are 14 November Sweepstakes plaques on the wall that
belong to my dad. This really inspired me to do well because maybe one day, I
could have plaques hanging on the wall with "MY" call sign on them.
My goal was 500 Q's. I only got 455 because when I went to bed, I couldn't get
back up in the morning!! I was so tired! But once I got up and got onto the
air.. I was up and going again! I did manage to still operate for 19.5 hours
though the goal was 24. But dad says, "That"s still some serious BIC time!".
Some of the guys that I talked to who live in Minnesota, would say, "Hey there
Kirsten, say hi to your dad for me". I would just respond by saying, "Ok. No
problem. Go MWA!!!" HI
I am happy that I was able to contest and I definitely can't wait till he next
one and I hope to do better!!!
Thanks to all the ham's out there who encouraged me!!
~ K0ADX, Kirsten
