Comments:
Good thing I wasn't planning an all-out effort, because work kept me late on
Friday night and then I had a day of work on Saturday, so any thoughts of a
high finish were out the window when the green flag dropped at 0000Z.
My call is very similar to some other active contest calls like N3ST and NS4T,
so it was somewhat surprising to see how aggressive the EU contesters were this
weekend about "QSO B4." Over a dozen of you think that I'm in your log, but I
am not. Working the dupes is a good idea.
I knew the propagation gods weren't with me when I called PJ4/KU8E. At first,
I thought he was QRP, because he was so weak, but it was 500, not 5 watts. I
could hear US West Coast stations big time on 160, but Europe was a whisper.
That's okay - it was still a lot of fun as always. I even worked one new band
and CW country - EK on 20. Thanks to everyone for all the Q's and see you next
week on tape in the CQ 160 SSB.
** One more note - and an apology to NQ4I. For some reason, I worked you guys
because I copied your call as SQ4I. It really took me about a minute to figure
out why they sent me 5NN GA. Sorry about that Rick. And no, I don't want to
start a thread about working zero pointers....
This contest also ends my streak of three consecutive years where I made 874
contacts in the ARRL CW. I will try to re-start that streak next year...
