Final Score = 51,680 points. Operated for 8:08 hours. The goal was to
try for a sweep despite the limited available time. (I returned from a
family wedding in Boston late Sunday morning and had a choral concert in
which my wife was singing on Sunday night.) The amp was on the fritz
so operated barefoot. Since I was mostly doing S & P, the lower power
didn't seem to matter much.
Working VY1EI was an interesting challenge. He seemed to be changing
frequency often, maybe to avoid the pileup. I caught him on 15 just after
he had left most of the pileup behind. Last 2 sections were NE (WY0L) at
2327 UTC and QC (VA2WDQ) at 0051 UTC, 2 minutes before the last QSO with
Sean, KX9X, also in NE.
Copy was rough on a couple of stations so I could have a couple of
busted sections (lost LAX that way in 2006). Probably good enough for a
magnet, in any case. Anyway, lots of fun and glad to add whatever I could
to the club score.
