The Mike & Key ARC choose 10Meter contest weekend to do bell ringing for
the Salvation Army from Fry's in Renton. While the shifts are only an hour,
I was on-site the whole day in a supervisory capacity after my shift was done.
I made the best of it by getting on from the truck to the tune of about
50 Q's. It's kinda tough with a 1/4 wave whip when you are used to a beam.
It did keep me out of the store so I didn't spend too much money. (Fry's
normally has a bad effect on my wallet.)

Sunday was a bit more fun. In-between other projects I got on throughout 
the day and did some running. Usually 100+ Q rates but I was hitting the
200+ mark quite a bit and did some 300+ as well. That last hour and a half was
a real barn-burner. Darn that was fun. Couldn't type fast enough (I'm a 
challenged typist anyway). I think half the contesters were on from Texas 
and Ohio though.

Some DX slipped through though I wasn't expecting any. A couple northern
Europeans and Asian Russia. Even did New Zealand from the truck. (Heard D4C
from the truck too but no way.) Some Brazilians and Argentina. Just a few 
JA's Sunday afternoon but I wasn't expecting many  - it was Monday morning
after all. I heard many from the truck on Saturday - just couldn't work 'em. 

Reminder - now that 10Meters is back, move the bell ringing to the 160M 
weekend for 2012!  BTW, we filled that kettle up good and that was fun too. 

cheers
dink, n7wa
