Comments:
After the absolutely terrible condx in the SSB portion I was expecting the same
for the CW portion so I decided to enter part time Low Power Assisted and made
plans to go to the Grey Cup on Sunday. Was I ever surprised!! Even though I
missed half the contest, when I was on condx were amazing on 160 - S2 QRN on
the vertical. I felt like I was really running power for a change. The
beverages came into play mostly just for the adjacent cochannel interference. I
even had a run of Europeans calling me at their sunrise on Friday night which
never happened before! The rate meter was running at 120/hr a times - sweet. I
almost cried when I had to QRT on Saturday evening... But we were leaving early
Sunday morning for Toronto and I couldn't back out on free tickets from my
friend [ 300$ each !! ]. As for the Grey Cup it was my first and at least I can
say I went to one. We never got home till 0200 local Monday morning.
I see John and Roger have respectable scores, as usual. Congrats to them and
all the CCO'ers for coming out to "Show the flag".
