Comments:

Well, that was both fun and painful. I think most of the FUN was the
anticipation; the pain was realizing that I have a third-rate station with a
second-rate operator! Look at my score, you see anything missing? HIGH BAND
QSOs!!! The dipoles just don't cut it, I was going crazy trying to hear either
of the two VY1 stations and no luck AT ALL! So I'm left at 79, what a bummer. I
can understand no QSO's on 15, after all there are no sunspots, but 20 should be
a daytime QSO while I really didn't operate during the day (only 3 hours today),
my 20M score really brought me down.

It was fun, and really GREAT to run into the NCCC Sprint regulars. Instead of a
"5NN", EVERY contest should require your NAME in the exchange, it makes it more
fun.

See ya in 2 weeks when I don my yacrophone (yuk). I'll be the LID who doesn't
know phonetics. Doing this shows true love to my team.

GO PVRC!!!!!!
