 __________________

 So, did anyone else work W1/ME0W?? My 2nd SS CW in the new era.
 Changed plans to go HP on the trip to the station, didn't catch
 the wrong precedence sent until after my 4th Qso. I have noted
 that in my log.  Was finishing up termination and connecting the
 feedline to the new "L" right up to starting time. Big growing 
 splitting headache early on forced an early break for a trip to
 town for aspirin. Highlights: 6. Personal best for this game. 
 5. First time breaking 1000 Q barrier SO. 4. All equipment 
 working flawlessly. 3. Sweep! 2. TCG member participation. 
 1. Great Ops - Great FUN!  Next up - ARRL SS SSB, W4CAT M/S.

 
 I have observed all competition rules as well as all regulations
 established for amateur radio in my country.  My report is correct
 and true to the best of my knowledge.  I agree to be bound by the
 decisions of the Awards Committee.
