Soapbox -
The usual disturbing lapses wherein the participant is reduced to a
helpless, flailing bystander. On the other hand, conditions were great -
a slightly higher personal best and some encouraging signs of improvement.
Don't know how far I progressed towards a golden log - I worked hard on
being sure of what I copied. The emphasis on QSLing an exchange seems to
be taking hold, as well. A great way to start off the fall contest
season. Hats off to the big guns!
I received #88 from Monica (WI9WI) so I suppose I should expect a subpoena
from Judge Starr any day now.
Dee-lighted to work CT1BOH, RW4WR, OH1NOA, and IK0HBN on 20-meters. Also
received a welcome surprise to be called by VO1XX! We need more VE's on,
though, missed VE2-3-4-7 which aren't usually that rare.
At 23:45 trusty rig #2 decided that it didn't like 40-meters, so had to
make a strategic scramble. Thought I had it under control until 03:45
when I noticed that it didn't like 80-meters, either, with only 25W
output. Never did feel very loud on 80 - guess I know why and take back
all the nasty things I said about alligators!
Good show - all you Watt-Me-Worry-Warts! Keep it up and see you in the
Sweepstakes!
73, Ward N0AX
