Hey, it's fun. What can I say? At my age better get 'em in while I can.
Unfortunately, we had a stretch of really good wx in Sept so I chose to
do some work on the house and missed 2 of them. Was out of town for
RTTY Sprint.

You don't want to overdo the *** ones. For the four months Sep to Dec
I have only 11 of them.
Jim, 11 "must operate"??!? A quick look at the calendar says among
Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec for 2003 there are only 17 weekends total!
Now THAT'S a commitment to contest operating.
I do much the same, for the ones I must operate...my wife and I both
have calendars in the kitchen that we notate for each other and I write
CONTEST as needed, which trumps any other possibilities including
family engagements (I am in a long time multi-ham family - they all
understand, thank goodness, and I was doing this before we got married,
so Mary knew what she was getting herself into...)
