First time in a long time that everything was ready to go 24 hrs in
advance instead of the usual last minute scrambling. Was not well rested
before contest though. I like when the contest falls after Thanksgiving
because I can usually sleep late or take an afternoon nap on Friday.
We had very high gusty winds on Saturday, my wire antennas were going
crazy. I had to keep one eye on the swr meter fearing the worst was
going to happen at any time. Conditions on 40 & 20 were challenging
at times this year. The mults were everywhere, first time with DXCC on
10-20, could have had it on 40 if I didn't sleep so long Saturday night.
Thanks to all the guys and gals who went on expeditions, you really make
this contest a whole lot of fun. This will probably be my last serious
effort for a while since we are expecting jr op #2 in February.
Happy Holidays to all
Mike N2GC
