K2SX SS SSB Score
Multi-op (used packet)
ENY

501 QSOs x 79 =79,158 in 12 hrs

First operation fm QTH in Scarsdale. Used TS-850/AL-1200 with Butternut
vertical on the porch.  SWR was 5:1 on 80 SSB (forgot to retune setting).
 Last mult was AK on Sun afternoon.  Worked one after calling for 45 mins
and then promptly worked KL7J,  Quit after that.

This was a true test of the interference problem of being in closely
packed area of suburbs.  Only one complaint fm a neighbor who thought
some cab company had started up operations cuz they kept getting calls
for "eastern NY" over his phone answering machine.  He cudn't understand
why a company wud be called kilo two sugar xray tho.  Hmmm...

Ah, for the quiet hills of CT.
