Comments:
After several training sessions in the Hesston College computer lab and Friday
night on-the-air practice, four students and three faculty/staff operators were
READY! It was great to chat with the other school stations including some we've
never worked before. It was also fun to see the confidence in our students
build as the hours went by and they took their turns helping at the run
station.
Although rates the first three or four hours were lower than previous years due
to the incredibly crowded band conditions on 20m, the often "difficult" sections
came easily. Our "countdown" was 5 NV 4 SJV 3 MT 2 LAX 1 BC SWEEP at 0759Z
(thanks VE7CC). Big cheer in Kansas! We eventually recovered from 130 Qs down
and ended up with 3 more contacts than last year.
Thanks to all of you who worked us, offered encouragement to us along the way,
and showed great patience when needed. We hope we work you all again next
year!
