________________
In the life of contests, there are point-takers and point-givers, I was
the later in this contest! The weather was too nice (80+F) to be inside,
so just messed around. If I could get points for a 20+ mile bicycle ride
on Sat, and the Brookfield Zoo with the XYL on Sun, I might be ok, hi.
Highlight of the contest was hearing E4/OK5DX...low point was not being
able to work E4 for a mult or a new country before (or even after!) the
huge pileup began. Also worked two JY9's and an HZ, cool! At 1244z the
first day, the farmer started plowing his corn/soy field for QRN deluxe!
Before that at 10z was a nice opening to PAC, EU and SA all at the same
time...geez maybe that vertical does have an advantage, HI!
About 99.9% S&P...such is life.
This is to certify that in the contest I have operated my transmitter
within the limitations of my license and have observed fully the rules
and regulations of the contest.
