[3830] ARRL DXCW '98 SO HP - KA1IS

[Tom Zicarelli]

This was my first winter out of the big city & first dx contest
in over 25 years. The bands are more crowded and I didn't 
recognize a lot of prefixes, but I can't think of a better
way to waste a winter weekend. Only got 2 qso's by calling cq -
maybe its time for a beam. (a Jim Beam, that is) Spent saturday 
afternoon trying  to figure out how get 270 feet of wire into 
the trees so I could get out on 160.
