[3830] HR6/W5WW SOAB LP ARRL DX Phone Claimed Score

[Brent Childers]

This was my first single op, all band effort.  Well all I can say is "10 
meters is AWESOME!".  The first day was pretty good, but come Sunday 
afternoon with the band conditions, 10 meters was a bottomless pit for 
about 5 to 6 hours.  Thanks to everyone in the state of Ohio with a 2X3 
call that worked me.  I must have talked to every novice that was 
licensed.

Went down to HR6 trying to get over the flu, and rather conservative 
expectations.  Hell I did not even check to see what sort of score would 
be good.  Arrived Wednesday evening, went diving on Thursday, spend 
Friday getting the inverted-L for 160 going.

Spent Friday and some of Saturday trying not to kick the VOX off with my 
coughing.  Sunday my tongue was sore from saying HR6/W5WW about a 
million times.  I apologize to all of those who asked what my call was, 
but I dog tired of saying it and I could not push the voice keyer button 
enough.

Thanks to all the guys who worked my puny signal on 160 meters, it was 
good to get out on Saturday/Sunday night.  And to all who worked me on 5 
and 6 bands.  It was a total blast!
