Soapbox:

This will be a weekend we all talk about for a very,
very long time. For a one weekend, all the planets
aligned and the propagation gods were generous beyond
imagination. Did you ever expect to be able to have
the opportunity to work DX on 2 meters, 6 meters, a
station in North Korea, and all of this during a major
contest?  I'll certainly not forget it any time soon.

I usually run this one QRP, but I knew I'd be torn
from a full-bore effort because of al lthe enhanced
VHF prop, so I went unlimited so I could maximize my
score for the SMC Effort. Thanks to all the SMC'ers;
there were a lot of us out there!!

  I scored more that I would have by going QRP and had
fun on 8 bands all in 48 hours. I also got KH6 on 6m
for my 50th state. Just crazy, crazy stuff! Oh, yeah,
I slept from 0500-0800z Sunday, so it wasn't so bad.
:)

Last mult was VY1MB on 15m.

Kudos to KL7Y for an amazing QRP effort. If he doesn't
win QRP this year, I'll be amazed.

Okay.. I think I might actually be sick of radio for a
litlewhile.. I'm so full of DX I feel like the
Thanksgiving turkey before the slaughter.

73 everybody. Go get some sleep and think back on what
an amazing weekend this was.

73,

Sean
