I had problems with my radio this weekend 
and was able to get on 160 only after 
sunrise. I'd planned on taking part 
throughout the contest but that little 
wrench sidelined me. But Eddy, I did 
manage to work you! :)

Instead of firing up the Alpha I went 
barefoot at 70 watts and was able to work 
almost everyone I heard. Exception was a 7 
and a 5 who couldn't hear me. No DX could 
I hear other than my Neighbors to the 
North.

Still fun!
