Comments:
Originally planned to get on and work Phone only low power as I am most
competitive category wise in that class. My CW skills aren't terrific and I
can't compete with the guys running the huge antenna setups. But my company
decided to have its Christmas part Saturday night, so I knew I'd never be
able to be competitive as a SOLP Phone so I just decided to go all out and
see how good I could do. Had a lot of fun. The highlights were having a
KH2 call me long path and a SU9 call me on Sunday afternoon. The low-light
was not having much good sporadic E on Friday night (don't know about
Saturday since I was not on). All in all a fun contest. No wall paper for
this one, but it was fun.
