Comments:

Decided to get off the sidelines and let folks know that Pat (W5WMU) is not the
only station in Louisiana.
 
Dusted off the amp and entered in high power class. Also got the SO2R box
cabled up about 2 hours before the contest and tried it for the first time. Now
THAT took some getting used to. I salute those guys who can run rates over
150/hr AND run mults on the 2nd. That will take practice!

Still love the F-12's and the ability to switch multiple tri-banders pointing
diff directions lets you pick up mults w/o having to wait on rotors.

Last year         This year
618       Q's      1306
319       Mults    494
402,897   Score    1,094,210

Broke 1000 Q's for first time.
Broke 1,000,000 points for first time.
Guess the effort paid off.

"Thanks" to everyone for stopping by for the Q. Some were quick and easy and
some took some effort, but they are ALL appreciated!


Look for K5ER and W5WZ in the next contest, putting NORTH Louisiana on the
contest map.

"See you in Dayton"
