The story:
I had planned on putting up a 40 meter sloper before the weekend, but 
-40 degree wind chills stopped me. We also had a lot of snow too.. So 
I had to stick with 20 and 15 meters. I woke up Saturday morning and 
played around on the two meter DX frequency, then fired up the 
radio... After spending 15 minutes getting my logging program ready, 
I worked my first contact.. Things then went at a steady pace until 
2200 UTC when I had to go QRT to attend my best friend's wedding.. We 
talked about juicy multipliers and lovely pileups and then did the 
Macarena! I returned home to find 20 meters dead as a doorknob 
(0400Z).... Well, I enjoyed the contest! Hope to see you next week 
as I operate as a guest at WA9TPQ's shack for NAQP SSB! 
 
See you in the pileups!
