Comments:
+4 dupes for total raw QSO count of 296
My Eagle scout ceremony was at 2, so to make a long story short I got on for
several 15 minute spurts in the afternoon and was not able to get serious until
the closing few hours.
Lately I've been spending too much time on 40M before QSYing to 80M, but this
time I overcorrected and spent too much time on 80M before going back to 40M,
where I had a decent run in the final minutes. If I QSYed just a few minutes
quicker I could have gone over the 300Q barrier.
The conditions on 40 and 80 sounded decent but pulling calls and exchanges out
of the QRN was like rubbing sandpaper on my eardrums. A big thanks to all the
really patient ops out there who would stick with me until I got their
exchanges.
Now, I have to debate whether or not I should get the microphone out next
weekend for the first time in over a year.
