Comments:
For the 2nd time, the invitation to operate the WK2G station proved to be alot
of fun and challenging as any low power, single tower station would be. I took
advantage of the stations strengths, (YAESU FT 1000MP, FORCE 12 C31XR
TRIBANDER,FORCE 12 2EL 240N 40M), especially maximizing the use of the 2 el 40m
yagi. I made the SWEEP, and surprisingly, worked 39 MULTS on both 20m and 40m,
with WCF and SFL as the last two I needed ... so heading off to 75m before
sunset on Sunday evening to find K4LQ in WCF for #79 and AC5ZS in SFL for #80,
I felt that by 7PM Sunday night I'd met my goal and was ready to head back
home. I believe I could have spent the last 3 hours churning for the 1,000 QSO
mark, but having made a SWEEP in both the CW and SSB events this year, I was
satisfied with the effort.
Thanks once again to Merrill and Maryanne for their fun hospitality and
RadioSport spirit. I had as much fun visiting with them during my offtime,
eating pizza and telling stories, as I did running 'em at six a minute during
the peak spurts.
So ends another chapeter in ARRL SS history. I must have logged 30+ MN
stations, so I know the Minnesota Wireless Assn was up to something this year!
Only the logchecking will tell.
73 ... Frank (K4EJ)
