SS results from K6KM (WM2C op) 1199/77 High Power 24 hours
First time entering SS (except for handing out a few QSO's occasionally).
Contested the "old fashioned" way. One radio. One VFO. Lots of CQing, almost
no search and pounce.
Heard VY1JA on 40m near the end of the contest calling CQ with no takers, and
within 5 kc +/- of him were 2 stations calling "CQ VY1" !! I decided to play
matchmaker and told one of the guys to listen down, there was about 10 minutes
left in the contest. I wonder if he ever made it?
