Comments:
So, Chuck suggests I do the 10 Meter Contest, remoting his station from down
here. I explain that it’ll be just a casual thing for me, nothing serious.
He’s OK with that, so we set-up the links & good to go.
And, it was all casual, the band pretty flat as expected. I was doing other
stuff & dropped in occasionally to check it out. At 0Z Saturday evening I
had about 125 Q’s in the log. Ho hum.
But, shortly after that we had a surprise visitor blow into town; Mr. E Skip,
esq. And, suddenly…the run-fest was on. QSOs from just about every direction
Saturday evening, with the pipeline SE—KY/TN down to FL & lots in
between—lots of TX. Well, that was fun—a little life in the party—glad we
got it. But wait; Mr. Skip apparently had a restful sleep & was ready to
rock again, because…I wander in at about our sunrise Sunday AM, and…it’s a
band full of signals! This one was everywhere, with a particular pipeline to
Minnesota. Lots of old friends up there & it was great fun to work ‘em
& say hi. Lots of close-in stuff, NE, KS, ND, WY, UT, K0KX checks-in from
SD, etc. Big hat-tip to KL7SB, who stayed with me while I tried too many times
to pull him out—and finally got it.
Shortly after noon Sunday, our downslope Chinook winds (winter phenom here)
blew-in & swept Mr. E Skip (esq) out of town. As a bonus, those 70+ MPH
gusts at Chuck’s rendered both 10M beams stuck/un-rotatable. Crickets on the
band again & the party was over.
After WWCW, ARRL 160 & now this…I’m about “Morsed-out” here. Lots
of fun, though! I enjoyed every QSO & hope everyone enjoyed it, too…
