Comments:
A very enjoyable 2006 SSB SS this year with 6 students and 4 faculty from
Hesston College participating. The students were all non-hams, so they spent
Saturday listening, logging, searching and pouncing. On Sunday, two felt
confident enough to run (and my sincere thanks to those of you who patiently
helped them start to learn that fine art!).
Sunday found us still needing AK and NT. With the beam pointed towards AK, a
"CQ Alaska, beaming Alaska" call soon got the response we were looking for.
With the beam turned back northwest, a request for us to beam Alaska again must
have earned us a spot because three more AKs found us in short order.
We found and worked VY1JA on 20m for #80. I think Jay's chuckle must have had
something to do with the cheers coming through his headset. Thanks again, Jay!
Reading the posts, I noticed VE7 seemed to be a rare one for some. Our log
counts from Kansas show normal counts of sections worked except for BC which
was very low although WWA and EWA were normal, and MDC which was way up
compared over the past three years. We also worked more schools this year than
in previous years. Let's keep that number going up as well!
Until next time ...
