Anyone else try out the "Hilltopping" category? I did a stint on Saturday
and sure picked the wrong six hours--worked only 14 stations and eight grids
on
6 and no one on two. Then, while editting the log, I accidently deleted a
QSO
with a unique multiplier. Ended up with 91 points.

Hills, we ain't got no stinkin' hills, this is the gulf coast senior'. The
closest thing that qualifies as a hill to me is 3/4 of the way to Austin (or
about 125 miles from my house). Besides ... three days before the contest
we're still trying to dodge a hurricane. Granted it was only a Cat1 but I
was going to go down and operate from EL28 just north of where the eye
passed and the worse part of this storm was the north side not the east side
as it usually is.
Couldn't get but a couple of hours of ops in and only worked 6m. The band
would be up
and I'd work a couple and it would die away. So back to working in the
office and would come back later to find it up and make a few more. I had
to work most of Sunday but did get a few additional contacts.

A whole whopping 258 points.
Rig FT-736R under 10 watts to qualify for the QRP single op.
