Comments:

This was lots of fun!  Dipoles, FT1000MP, hand keyed, paper logged.  Most of my
stuff is still packed in shipping boxes.

    I was recently transferred by the Coast Guard to the San Francisco area, and
this was my first activity in several months.  I felt pretty good after a few
QSOs and I felt tha I got my "groove" back quickly.  Unfortunately I didn't get
any SO2R practice.

    It just so happens that there's a local radio club station located on the
hilltop directly behind my home, on USCG property.  It's a great looking
location with a lot of potential, but some serious antenna work needs to be
completed before I can be competitive from there.  For this contest I threw up a
couple dipoles for 20/40/80.  I'm interested in any signal comparisons between
me and the other W6's.  My first impression with wires tells me that this
station will Kick Butt once I get the club's TH7 back in the air.  

    This will unfortunately be my one and only NS before the Real Sprint.  I was
transferred here to attend school and classes start next week - including a
Thursday evening class.

    Thanks to the big welcome from everyone in the NCCC - I'm looking forward to
meeting everyone, and working the domestic contests from out here.

See everyone in the Real Sprint(tm)!

73, Dave N2NL
