Score includes power mult and county bonuses.
Big thanks to my long time driver/friend W0TVD who did his usual great job.
Glad to report no problems with any equipment, except my brain! Made the
minimum 12 q's in WSB, but must have forgot to hit enter prior to switching to
next county and lost the bonus. Have done this contest many times, but this
was surely the most difficult conditions. 40 too long right away and 20 just
not there. Probably did not check 80 often enough early on, but it sure was a
life saver near the end. Made 40% of my q's in the last 2 hours mostly on 80
and zero 20 meter q's after 4 pm CDST. We managed to get lost in CHIppewa
county and ended up 40 minutes behind schedule. Had a nice tour, but almost
tossed my cookies while Terry tried to catch up. Lots of sharp curves and
bumps on a very secondary bunch of roads! Took a shorter version through SAWyer
in order to get to the much needed DOUglas. Made it with 12 minutes to go and
logged 36 q's in that time--wild! Another plus was after our course change we
actually saw 3 Elk in the woods near Clam Lake--first time ever for that. Big
thanks to the folks who followed us and made the following: K9NW--22,
N2CU--21, K9CT--17, AF8A--16, W9EAU & W9RE--15, K9WX--13, WB5JID--12, and
WP2B--10 including one on 80. Only 2 EU in the log. Rig: K3 and
"Larry's" screwdriver on top of the Outback. Lots of fun in spite of
all--thanks to all for the q's.
John, N0IJ op
Terry, W0TVD as driver
