This one was a LOT more fun than the August running. A combination of more
activity, better conditions and working antennas on all bands made life a lot
easier. I got a late start Saturday and wasn't able to do quite the full 10
hours, but managed to keep myself busy the entire time.
The most interesting thing that happened was working AC6T twice on successive
QSOs. I was running on 15 and using the 2nd radio to find new ones on 20. I was
in the process of setting up to call AC6T on 20 when he answered my CQ on 15. As
soon as we completed the QSO on 15, I heard him go back to running on 20 and
immediately worked him there. How often does this happen? SO2R can actually be
fun sometimes.
See y'all in August!
