Club/Team: Murphy Strikes at Midnight

Comments:

This started out to be a single band 10M QRP effort but after beating my head 
against the Zone 24, 27, and 28 pileups to NO avail for nearly 3 hours, I moved 
on to 15M where some of the more rare multipliers seemed to come easier.  
Saturday evening did bring home some of the more exotic multipliers on 10M such 
as BV, BY, DU, V8, YB, and 9M8.

20M was fun to EU which stayed open most of the night.  40M was TOUGH as a 
QRPer but I did manage to work 9 EU multipliers and a few Africans plus JA.  
Absorption was simply too high with the high MUF's.  

I have never been called N zero KG so often.  I will have to check my mic / 
radio / speech processor.  Why didn't I hook up the DVK?

Murphy came to my rescue Saturday night just before local midnight when the VFO 
shaft seized on my radio, allowing me to sit out the rest of the contest and 
avoid dealing with the solar disturbance.   Sunday morning I did go over to 
K4AB's place and picked up his old FT902 but it turned out to be as dead as
the bands.  MONDAY morning, I finally realized my venerable old Collins S-Line 
was still sitting in the spare bedroom among my dead Kenwoods...DUH.
