Comments:
I entered the 2009 SSB Sweeps with 2 goals, 1. to get a clean sweep and 2. to
finally reach the 1000 Q mark. I had accomplished the sweep before but never
had hit 1000 Qs, I usually spend too much time searching for that last section
or 2. I determined this year that 1000 was a bigger goal than 80.
I missed the sweep by missing ND. I searched for an ND station but never heard
one. I even asked stations I worked if they had heard one recently. No luck.
Funny thing is I ran the CW Sweeps QRP and worked 2 ND stations, go figure.
I did reach the 1000 Q threshold for the first time ever. I let out a big
"Whoooo" when I hit 1000, probably sounded like Ric Flair had become a ham.
And I must admit it felt good to give out a 4 digit number the last 1 1/2 hours
of the contest. Not too bad for a blind hillbilly with a small trap tribander
at 41 ft and a dipole at 60 ft.
Peace and 73
