207Q's X  39 mults.====8,073 pts.

I always enjoy the sprint but this outing was not quite as much fun as usual.
Things seemed to be real slow for a while and 40m had me worried. As many have
said, the bands were all long.  Therefore a lot of the Q's up and down the
east coast that I had hoped for just didn't materialize. Oh well.  I
experienced tremendous QRN most of the time on 75m and the broadcast stations
on 40 had me wondering if it was even a ham band that I was listening to.  

To make things even harder, I received a telephone call during the middle of
the test advising me that my grandmother was in the hospital. Needless to say
that was on my mind as well. So if I jumbled up my exchange with you....sorry.
Next time will be better I'm sure.  73 and thanks to all for the Q's.

"Monica" W5WW>  I had considered going on as "Slick Willie" or some other
modification of that name but decided against it. Maybe I should have????
