Good morning,
Like Tom, I try to set a personal target. Each year I try
to work all states, but the last time I achieved this was in the
previous sunspot cycle.
WAS in one Day!
- ---------------
This year I was operating in SO/HP SSB only section.
The full list of US states as multipliers was achieved in the first
day. The final states needed were worked in the 1900 hour, with
WB0O ND, KA1SSU NH, W1LLU MA, and WL7PV KL at 1955Z.
So I had worked the 48 lower states, District of Columbia, Hawaii,
and Alaska for the possible 51 USA multipliers.
I have been operating in this contest for 15 years, but this
is the first time I have Worked All States in less than one day.
Thanks to all our friends for the great contacts!
Cheers,
Martin ZL1ANJ
