Soapbox : Absolutely fab time had by all. Everybody had a great time not only
on the radios, but out in the clubhouse catching up on stories. We even had a
webcam up for a little while! The lone QSO on 10 was Jamie NS3T in VA,
otherwise, NADA on 10 whatsoever!
Where was everyone from South Dakota and Hawaii? We *KNOW* where K4XS/KH6 was,
but was South Dakota snowed under? The single North Dakota worked was a
surprise encounter with a KD4POJ that was portable there!
Funny, but I personally ran several piles of stations in Eastern Europe (YO's,
LZ's, etc.) long path on 40 while beaming north west, all the while thinking to
myself, DX guys, stop calling me! Where is all the stateside activity! This
station is not really designed for domestic contesting, but what a great
antenna that 40m beam is!
This operation was in honor of Jim White K4OJ (sk), one of the founders of FCG
who loved this contest. It was fitting that the first QSO in our log is Ellen
White W1YL/4, his mother. We dedicate our efforts to the Whites for all they
have done for our Hobby in general and to FCG in particular. OJ's to all who
worked us!
Thanks to the Tampa Amateur Radio Club for the use of the great facilities of
W4DUG for this effort.
This was fun. We will do it again soon!
