COMMENTS:
Knowing that I had to leave on a 4 day business trip 8 hours after the
contest was over kept me getting as "up" as I should have been for this
contest. I should have done much better.
I started out on 15 because it sounded good. Wrong strategy.
It took me 4 minutes to make my first QSO. I had the worst 1st hour
in years. I finally figured out that I should be on 10 and things
improved. I don't know what happened to 20, nothing much going on.
Missed KP2, I must be deaf.
The best part of this contest is that you get to work the best operators.
Lots of great contest technicians. ......and, of course, a few that try your
patience.
Bill, W5VX
