QRM: Fell short of my score goal to go beyond the 1997 W/VE SO LP
Leader (WA4ZXA 819,534); 114 more Qs (w/o more Ms) would've
helped. Perhaps the goal would've been reached had I played
(sat in the chair) longer. This is my second SO LP AB
effort in this event. Fortunately, compared to last year,
there was only a threat of inclement weather and this was
near the end of the game; but wasn't enough to shut down.
As a result, this game was much more fun than last year's.
Returning to the W/VE Top Ten Box will be icing on the cake.
TU to the 887 DX stations who worked Wo4o! It was FUN!
