All of my co-workers think I'm really cool since I must know John Tesh. 
There was a substitute for him with Mary Hart since he was away for a "ham
radio contest".  All right - what's his callsign and where was he ?

W0UN (op K0GU) ARRL Phone 40M Single Band

615 x 81 = 149,445

Icom 781, Alpha 87A, 4/4 KLM's @ 160'/80', 4 el M^2 @ 70'

Great JA run the 2nd night, lousy the 1st night. Best DX HZ1AB and 9K2ZZ
on long path. Beat the US record by a slim margin, at least till the logs
are checked. But there is likely a higher score out there somewhere.

Somebody had asked about John Tesh.  You don't suppose this is
him, do you?  If so, he looks awfully well-preserved on TV!

ARRL DX Contest - SSB

Call:  WA7BNM               Category:  Single Op, Low Power (Unassisted)
Location:  S.Calif (LAX Section)

Band         QSO         Countries
160            5              5
 80           36             16

-------------------------------------
             956            226   =   646,134

42 percent of all QSOs were with Japan.

Equipment:
  FT-1000D, LP for 10m, 6-el 15m, 4-el 20m, 40m dipole, 80m loop

Contest behavior observations:

1. The last two letters disease has reached Japan and Europe. I
   had numerous JAs respond with their last two letters when they
   were the only ones calling me.  Fewer Europeans, but still some.

2. The "How Long Can I Go Without Giving My Callsign Award" goes
   to the CT1 who refused to give his callsign, berated someone who
   worked him as a dupe, finally gave his callsign once, but not
   phonetically.  After being badgered by many, finally gave his
   callsign phonetically (once).

Comment:
   A number of us here in Southern California were annoyed by the
   big East Coast contest stations (the ones that we will see at
   the very top of the results) sitting in the DX window on 80m
   calling CQ Contest, when there were DX stations in the Pacific
   trying to work the U.S.  For this particular contest, there should
   be a gentleman's agreement for U.S. stations to not use the 80m
   DX window as run frequencies.
