Comments :
This was my 1st try at S/O HP in this contest.Usually run low power to make
neighbors and family happy ! But since my tower and antenna project was
finally finished on thursday,I had to give it a try..Thanks to Bob,K6ZZ
(Bigguns Tower Service) for a great job.
I was going to do ssb only,but after a number of tvi complaints from my
kids,I decided to do mixed mode.I ran between 200 and 1000 watts depending on
what channel they were watching and which mode I was on...Is there a medium
power category ? hi
Conditions seemed to be better than last year, with a short opening on 10m
sunday to perk me up.
I had a great time this year,and hope to make this an annual event. Thanks to
all who worked me on cw and slowed down to 20wpm.Maybe next year 25wpm ??
