I had planned on doing a FT effort but had some problems with my CW interface
(W9XT contest card) early on Sunday afternoon. Locked up radio on transmit. I
spent a couple hours trying to figure out problem and gave up in frustation.
After I took the card out out the computer and put it in another slot it started
working again. By then my head wasn't in the contest anymore so I quit and got
on the last 1 1/2 hours.
It was fun while it lasted... My first SS outside of the SS "black hole" of
Ohio. We had a saying in the midwest "there is no meters like 40 meters" . Here
in GA you could modfy that saying and just fill in 20 meters. 430 QSO's on that
band with a 35 foot high dipole !!!! I can't imagine how well I would of done
if I had a "real" antenna on that band. 73's until next time....
