This was my first winter out of the big city & first dx contest
in over 25 years. The bands are more crowded and I didn't
recognize a lot of prefixes, but I can't think of a better
way to waste a winter weekend. Only got 2 qso's by calling cq -
maybe its time for a beam. (a Jim Beam, that is) Spent saturday
afternoon trying to figure out how get 270 feet of wire into
the trees so I could get out on 160.
qso's mult
160 30 18
80 66 37 location: Bethel, ME (sure beats Minneapolis)
