The best part of this hobby is it's ability to provide excitement. In this case,
a second antenna, the first time operating multi at my own QTH, and exposing a
fellow ham to contesting for the first time.
Congrats to Joe, AD7XZ (just upgraded to Extra, formerly WB7SRQ) who had always
wanted to participate in a contest, but never had. Well, he has now! Joe got
his feet wet (in fact, everything wet!) in the 12 hours he operated. He did a
really fine job, and to think he had never operated a footswitch at 17:59z on
Saturday! Cool to see his progression with each hour. He quickly ditched
'search and pounce' for run,run,run! My kind of op! THANKS Joe! In honor of
this, we used his name for this contest (it's also my middle name). Welcome to
the contest community!
Also, Sergey KN7K (formerly KO5N) came on short notice, and he held a frequency
for 6 hours on 20 meters right from the gun. Great job, Sergey!
Complementing the 4 element SteppIR on 'tower one', a recently completed 2nd
tower, a 72' Trylon sporting a TH6DXX tribander, topped with a K7ZSD
constructed, W6NL designed 40 meter Moxon gave me true multi-transmitter
operation for the first time, and it all worked well. SO2R, here I come!
So, many 'firsts' this weekend - not in the scoring, but in personal bests,
first time events and new milestones for the station.
This IS a great hobby!
73, Kevin K7ZS
