Oh what a difference a year makes. I finally had some Eskip
in the final 20 minutes of the contest, but it was not very
strong, and I only worked three stations in New Mexico and
Arizona. I was, however, pleasantly surprised at the number of
stations on the air inside the state of Texas. I worked seven
members of the Central Texas DX & Contest Club (primarily an HF
interest organization) but only one member (as far as I can tell)
of the Roadrunners Microwave Group (the VHF/UHF weak signal club of
south Texas.) Nevertheless, I managed to work 26 stations in
Texas, which is a _vast_ improvement over recent years.
George's station continues to be a wonderful place from which to
operate.
