-------------------------------------
I never thought that in my life I would ever submit a contest score or report
like this. I struggled to work 4 stations the first night (Friday) ....and
only heard one more station the entire weekend, but I had already worked him!
I should note that I never tuned the CW band. I used the K-2 scanning feature
to tune 28300 to 28515 while I watched TV or did other things in my station. I
called CQ for 10 minute segments a number of times over the weekend. I checked
my SWR a number of times to be sure my antenna was OK. I don't know how many
hours I spent but guessed maybe 10 hours.
This now supersedes the Dec 2007 10 Meter contest which I previously called the
worst contest of my life. ...I had 33 Qs in that contest!
73, Bill W8QZA - W6QU
