Comments:
Started late due to social gigs on Saturday.
It took 11 hours, but I finally got the Sweep! Last was W1HI from RI (of all
places). I had been inserting "CQ RI" calls with my regular CQs for
a while, and then he showed up (after about a dozen other 1's called who I had
hoped were the "right" 1s!)
Next to last: ND - N7IV called in, and that was my only ND QSO.
I called CQ most of the time. The only sections I had to go "get"
were KP2, KP4, WY, NT, SJV, ORG.
Only 1 QSO with NL (VO2AC called me!), NT, RI, DE, SJV, ORG, EWA, WY, ND, and
NE.
Radio - IC746 PRO plus KPA500 amp, 4-element SteppIR, 40-2CD, and 80 meter
inverted vee, all at 6o feet.
My first SS was in 1964 with my newly minted General class license, WB6DPV from
Santa Maria, CA. I was using 50 watts of AM and a 40 meter dipole. My VFO
would work on 40 meters, but not on 15. So I used two crystals on 15 phone to
help 1) make a total of 80 QSOs, and 2) to win the SB section! My how things
have changed!!
[For those who don't understand the reference to crystals, ask someone with
gray hair!]
