Time on about 30 Hrs.
Some one scheduled Valentine's day at Beginning of Contest
XYL didn't appreciate that one ! Consequently didn't Operate
first 7 hours of contest, Score one happy XYL who tolerated test for
remainder of weekend. However her score can't be added to point=20
total. Hi ! Read what you like into that one.
Difference between 300 watts from sick amp and 100 maybe was=20
not worth the effort, to forfeit shot of repeat LP win.=20
High point calling VQ9 on 160 and have him hear me first shot. ( You =
gotta see my 160 m antenna ! )
You still gotta love hired guns at multi -op stns who come smack down on =
your freq and pretend they don't hear you, guess without voice =
print/signature fist they maintain their anonymity.

Loved the guy at KP3Z who only wanted to work USA , guess he forgot to =
read the rules, he eventually sorted himself out,
no fun being a multiplier if YOUR multipliers don't want to work you hi!
All things equal, bad back, Valentine's day , lots of sleep, I managed =
a few good runs, love it when you're a multiplier, people will actually =
ASK YOU to
move to another band.=20
and sadly realized that I have a load of antenna work to do yet.
Hope see you SSB=20
