Comments:
Well, I probably won First Place Colorado Rover, unless
there is a Minimum Qualifying Score for this contest.
At first I was really bummed because I only logged 35 valid
contest contacts. But, I checked back and I had logged
only 31 in the CQ WW VHF 2015, and
only 29 in CQ WW VHF 2016.
So, it was my third worst.
(And, I have no memory of the misery in 2015 and 2016.)

Old School: SSB & CW
Only 7 out-of-state (6M) contacts -- 6 Calif., and 1 EN16.
It was REALLY GRIM at times on Sunday.
In DM77 I only logged one contact from 1520z to 1655z.
In DM87 I logged NO contacts in my 2 hours there.
In DM88 I logged only 2 contacts in 1.5 hours.
I could have kept the log in my head,
instead of wasting a whole clay tablet.
I'd like to thank Duncan, WE7L, who always seemed to pop
up and engage me in a short QSO when my spirits and Q-rate
were at zero.
And, my cringe-worthy CW notwithstanding, it is damn hard
to send anything intelligible by straight key when you
have horse flies biting you on the arm!
Always demonstrating the triumph of hope over experience,
