Highlights:
Absolutely stellar 20m band from the beginning. If I could just keep my
enthusiasm
and rate at the same level as this contest starts!
Also great fun riding shotgun with K3MM (W3GRF) and N3KS. At the end of the
night
before we all went to bed, our "entertainment" was pouncing on spots to see
which of
the 3 of us would get through first. This is what happens when you run
stations too long.
Another high point was having a "frequency policeman" on my 20m run frequency
for awhile,
to keep certain W5's and W6's from encroaching on my run frequency. It's
amazing how
passionate you have to be about keeping your 'spot' clear.
Enjoyed having Sid, NH7C here to work a second operation using K3MM (about 315
QSOs) while
he introduced his friend Kevin to contesting.
Loved those 80m short beverages, though the did get me into trouble listening
on
the wrong one a few times.
Bummers:
I JUST can't handle the boredom on Sunday when the rate dies mid-day. I only
managed to put
about 22 hours on the clock, and was looking for ways to entertain myself -
sometimes
that didn't work out so well for the score.
Favorite moments
Having Eric, VY1EI call me (about fell out of my chair), and then having Kam,
N3KS discover
this QSO in progress and make his own with Eric.
73,
