First time ever trying this one SOAB.  Not too shabby, I guess.
Propagation's a little different in VA than it is in WI.  :-)
Still have some learning to do, but I think I'm getting the
gist of it:   Point antennas to Europe, call CQ.
Maybe I did too much of that and missed some easy US prefixes?

Sure was nice to operate the K4JA station in the single-op category.
It's quite a dream, as everything is automatic except making the
QSOs.  Check out the station details if you haven't yet at:

Was very ill when waking up Friday.  Fortunately, the 15 trips
to the bathroom were over with by the start of the contest and
I didn't get out of the chair until 4:30am local for a whopping
one-whole hour nap.  Bonus of being so dehydrated is that I
got to drink a lot of water and essentially didn't need to
use the bathroom until Sunday!  Seemed like a big price to pay
to stay in the chair, though.

Defintely affected by the two flares, one
in the morning, one in the afternoon.  Sounded like someone
flipped a switch, as all the co-channel QRM disappeared!  The
cool thing was that Europeans still kept calling in and my
rate really didn't drop much.  It was right about when I was
considering moving to 10M, but decided to stick it out on 15.
Rates were so good on 15M on Sunday that I had a very late
move to 10, but I figured a bird in the hand with 130+ rates.

This definitely marks the most QSOs I've ever had SO in a contest.
Would be well over 4000 if I didn't start telling people "QSO B4".
I started that after about 60-some dupes and one guy calling me
four times in a half hour.

In general....LOTS OF FUN!  Thanks to Paul (and Betsy) for letting
me come out!
