To wrap up my contest experience, I made a Top Ten List of "Amazing Contest"
events as heard/experienced from Wyoming--
Amazing Event #10: Working W7NK, NQ7Q, N7DMO, KD7HH, WB7S, WA7LEA, and N7JT
in this contest...all Wyoming stations-
Amazing Event #9: My MFJ Keyer Worked-(Although they shipped the wrong keyer
in the right box....and you can guess the rest.....(it took an extra $20 in
shipping, 3 hours of phone calls and a drive to Cheyenne's UPS Terminal in the
middle of the night to get a replacement in time for contest)......Par for the
Course........
Amazing Event #8: Related to Amazing Event # 9......MFJ Equipment Back On My
property-(It just won't go away......mommy, make it go away-)
Amazing Event #7: Missing DE, ND, and VT- (no explanations, no
excuses.......)
Amazing Event #6: Working N6SNO/M on his Inflated balloon antenna's
Amazing Event #5: Hearing stations that placed in "top ten" catagories last
year argue that the DX window was 1.825-30, not 1.830-35 where they were
QRM'ing the entire window from 1.832.5 Mhz- Is There a Doctor in the house?
Amazing Event #4: VE3.... and W3... so and so, you know who you are, It is
a "CONTEST" QRM Happens- Geezzzzz-
Amazing Event #3: Missing EA8ZS who was 10 Over for 30 minutes-
Amazing Event #2: Working VE7XF/QRP Signal Through S-20 Noise- Trust me.....it
took every inch of the 850 foot JA Bevg-
And Amazing Event #1......working Ohio stations by the bucket full- it was un-
natural...... but man, what a blessing!-
Thx for all those ops who worked me- I had a blast! 73 paul N0AH
