Didn't plan on operating this much. Otherwise
would have jury rigged a second radio and gone
full time.
High point: Great high band E openings made
for exciting multiplier moves. AA7BG (MT)
called in on 80 at 0555Z and had him all
the way up to 10 by 0557. Nice way to
finish.
Low point: QRN !!!

One radio - TS930
All wire antennas: 10, 15, 40 meter dipoles, 20 meter quad loop,
80 meter windom, 160 meter inverted L
Things seemed pretty slow at the start of the contest. They picked up
after a few hours and got pretty good after sunset. QRN was pretty bad
all day and one of my time offs was dictated by a big thunderstorm
rolling through. Fun contest.
73, Larry

Claimed Score = 102,297 points.
Rig: TS-850, TS-830, KT34XA @ 49', 40-2CD @ 55', 80/160 half sloper.
My score is way down this time. Not 100% sure why, but I think the
10/15m openings were more localized here than for stations
further east, and the QRN made the weaker sigs from the far west
almost uncopyable on the east coast. It's a good thing the
computer filled in the blanks on those 40/80/160 qsos, because
it was a major effort just to get the callsign on both ends.
I'm anxious to see some other west coast scores to see if the
above theory is true, or if I did poorly for some other reason.
Regardless of the score, it was fun. Good to hear the regulars
and the newbies. See you in two weeks on ssb.

Unfortunately legal barriers in Europe would prevent this from being
possible with respect to most Western European countries. Many of them
have privacy laws which require that each amateur give his written
permission before his callsign/name/address can be listed in an on-line
database. Other European countries allow amateurs to request that their
callsigns remain "unlisted" in any public list just as if we were talking
about telephone numbers. Thus you have the strange twist whereby, for
example, the DARC DL Callbook gets its material from the US Callbook
rather than from German authorities.
Very 73,

Comments:
This was my first serious attempt at NA. Wanted a shakedown contest for the
new rig and new logging program NA version 9. If I took time to come back to
you it was probably one of my confused moments with all the new stuff! After
being back in the hobby for almost 3 years, I now think I've finally figured
out some of the contest stratergies. Really enjoyed that I could hold a
frequency with my modest ant's on everything except 80. (Just don't know what
to do about that band with my small city lot.) High point was having a NL7 call
me on 40! Low point was the Thunderstorm late in the contest. Now, just a few
more things to tweek before SS! 73 Greg AA0OB
