Comments:
Conditions were a lot better than last weekend, that's for sure! It was still
tough going at times, but most of the time conditions were at least quiet so
you could hear people, though signals weren't often especially strong.
I apologize to those who had to suffer my herky-jerky code and mis-timed
transmissions. The station laptop is so old it froze for 2-3 seconds every
time it checked a callsign, making my timing bad and causing other problems.
The CW was also often poorly timed, too.
In spite of all I had fun, though, and hope you did, too. It was great to log
many of my Mad River friends as well as my good friend southern California,
Gordon KM6I. Thanks for pulling me out of the late contest aether.
Thanks to all who listened hard for my tiny signal, and to the organizers for
another great contest.
Please check out my new ham radio song on youtube: "If You Ain't Runnin',
You Ain't Winnin'" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2pO3XibMvE
My other song "I Want a Big Tower" is at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNWZjzrzgwA Thanks for enjoying my music.
More songs are coming!
