Comments:

February obligations to the my local Ham Club prevent me from giving this test
my all so I decided to go Single Band 40 this year. That way I could plink away
in the dark hours and after my Saturday meetings. It was also a chance to learn
the band in a bit more detail. It's surprising what shows up in the daylight
hours on 40M.

Remember when you were learning to be a ham and they said, "If you can't hear
'em, you can't work 'em", Well, this was the contest of... if THEY can't hear
YOU, you can't work 'em either. :>) I heards plenty of stations that didn't
hear me - particularly in Europe. Then, there were a number of times I got
tangled up in a Q that just was not going to turn out anyway but busted on
their side. So, I would just dump the Q and sometimes I got 'em later. In all,
I figure there were about another 10 European mults that I heard and just
couldn't make the deal on. On the other hand, a pleasant surprise was the
number of very worakable 5 watt JA's including my good friend JR1NKN/W7KN.

It was fun... in a masochistic kind of way :>)

cheers
dink, n7wa
