What a fun time during the time I was on. Some nice rate on Friday but slowed
down quite a bit on Saturday night. Took some off time during some prime hours
on Friday night to take my wife to dinner and Saturday to watch the Ohio State
- Wisconsin football game. Might have done even better and made it to 1000 QSOs
if I was operating during those hours.
Good conditions to EU on Friday night. Not as good on Saturday. I actually had
some EU stations answer my CQ's which is rare for me. Set alarm to get up
around 7:30 AM Sunday morning after a couple hour nap to see if I could snag a
KL7 or KH6 at sunrise. Just my luck when I turned on the radio there was KL7SB
on the frequency I was on when I had turned off the radio. Worked Steve and
started tuning low in the band to see if I could hear any JA stations. JA3YBK
was very loud and called him and got thru. My first JA from my home station
since I moved to Georgia in 2003. Heard one other JA call someone but didn't
hear any others CQing in the JA window.
Wishing all my contesting friends a happy holiday season...
