[3830] NA9D CQ WPX CW SOAB HP Assisted

[Jon Ogden]

OK, fellas,

Here is my BIG score from the contest!

QSOs: 7
Prefixes: 7
Countries: 7

Total score: 98 points

Total operating time: about 30 minutes
Club: Society of Midwest Contesters

Now let's see if that will qualify for last place (Yes, I am going to submit
it - K9PG will drag out his can of whoopass if I don't!)!  Put myself in the
high power, assisted category by virtue of running the FT-1000D at full
power.

I am not much of a CW op, but wanted to get on and do some practice.  Didn't
have much time this weekend as we had lots of projects on the house to do.
So, I snuck in a half hour of time after the xyl went to bed on Saturday
night.  I had a lot of fun.  Would have liked to do more, but was just too
tired.

Using packet was kind of a joke to assist me.  During my operating time, I
think I used one spot to make a QSO and that spot had the call listed
incorrectly.  All my other Qs ended up being spotted by me.

Anyhow, perhaps I'll do it more next year.

73,

Jon
