Comments:
Last five sections were NLI, SC, DE, VT, and PR. A lucky find was a group of PR
stations on 28,315 rag chewing in Spanish. I managed to break in and work four
of them in my broken-Spanish. After a few minutes, KH2RU/KP4 joined in
speaking English, so I worked him too. I spotted him, and he took over the
rapidly-growing pileup, even though he said he was not in the contest.
Hopefully, he stayed long enough to satisfy the masses.
On Sunday afternoon, I turned the station over to Jim, K8MR, who was visiting
from Ohio. Being fresh meat at that time, Jim had a strong run to the finish.
I managed to work four ND stations, and Jim worked a fifth, N0UD, who was my
host when I went to ND last year for SS CW. The op at W0JER was N7IV, a
regular in SS from ND. I commented to N7IV, that there were a lot of ND
stations this year, and he said that their section manager, Lynn, W0ND, had
encouraged them to get on. Tnx Lynn, it worked!
