Comments:
Sure had a blast, even if things didn't go exactly as planned. Several dumb
mistakes were made as normal, and I took about 25 minutes for dinner starting a
little after 01:00 UTC. Murphy hit around 03:00 - two connections on the 160
antenna that are designed to come loose in high winds (to avoid antenna damage)
came loose right in the middle of the contest - with no wind. Ran outside in the
pouring rain to fix it, got back in the shack, worked about 5 Q's and it
happened again. Worked about 10 more Q's on my 80M inverted vee (great on 80,
poor on 160) and decided to call it a night.
As usual, I think I worked every ham in FM19. Signals were strong, and the TX
antenna performed better than normal on RX. See you in the NAQP's - will be
SO2R.
