More fun than should be allowable. My 2nd run at this game
again from the /M platform as the scheduling for this one
puts me on the road for /F(amily) activities in Kentucky.
Was planning to put some time into this one, but I couldn't
find my CW keying interface for my laptop. Drove to the
Evansville, IN hamfest Saturday just "listening" to all the EU
activity on 10 meters. Enroute home to TN on Sunday, I just
couldn't stand it, so I fired up the paperlog and paddlette
paddles and away I went S&Peeeing down the road. Was amazed
how the pileups were easy to crack. (Didn't even pull the ole
/m trick either!) Spent about 45 minutes trying the pile on
VK9LX around 21:23 with no luck. Found him later at 23:00
alone and easy to bag. My daughter Katy (also a Ham) was
with me during the trip and she had fun keeping track of the
zones worked as I bagged and logged them. Upon arriving home,
I ran to my nearby fishing hole boat ramp and parked with
water all around me. Worked the remaining 1.5 hrs from there
with no noise, pre-amp activated, nabbing JA's with ease. I
must say that I was impressed as there were only about 5
stations that I heard that could not be worked. Many thanks to
all who pulled me out of the mud to make this another memorable
event!
