The first time I posted this it went to archives but not the reflector.
When I reposted I put the wrong class. I'm blaming it on the CW gods
wrath against me for working phone!
Here is the corrected score with the correct class:
CQ Worldwide DX Contest - SSB
Call: K5KG
Operator(s): K5KG, NA2U

Only two operators, only ONE RADIO!!! Had a great time. A line noise
problem
(like S8 with noise blanker on) developed about 1-2 weeks prior to test.
Think
problem poles have been ID but electric utility not able to get to them
before
the test. A real bummer. Quiet is much better. That much noise is
really
exhausting. Hope to have it fixed before CW.
My thanks to George for inviting me over to operate. A very gracious
host.
Quite a switch from my usual low-power efforts. Haven't used packet in
DX
contest in about 7 years. It has a mesmerizing effect sometimes, drawing
one
into just chasing mults. It was fun, though, for phone.
