Another great Saturday...The day started off right with a few extra hours
of sleep.  Then went to the PSU vs. No. Illinois game(?)...It was over in
the first few minutes(PSU 49 No. Illinois 0).  Then the phone sprint!

I was able to "hang" with the big boys on 20, worked most guys on the first
call...but it seemed 20 was only open to CA and TX, nothing else heard on
the band until later into the contest.

40 was horrible!  I got beat like a red-headed mule!  It got frustrating
getting beat out over and over again.  Same story on 80, just not as bad.

If I was able to work everyone I heard I would've broken 200Qs...maybe next
time!

Heard but didn't work ID, MD(!), WV(!), VE6, C6A, and quite a few others.

Hope to work you all in the PA QSO Party, second weekend of October.

Good Luck & 73
Jim/KB3AFT
