Wow - that was some great 'Low Power' fun, even more than SSB Sprint 

last weekend!? I did not see a Score Submittal Form for this contest,

so hope this formatting comes out OK.?? Nice to?work N4AF and N2NC 

on 20 in the first hour, and especially nice to see so many of my HST 

friends?come out for?this contest (DJ1YFK, HA3OV, LZ4UU, etc.)



Highlights included?keeping pace with CT1ILT for the first 1 1/2 hours, 

and with DJ1YFK going?into the 3rd hour!?? Congrats to both you guys 

on your big scores and keeping the rate up in the last hour.??I hit a 

'brick wall' on 80-meters as usual with no amplifier.?? But at least in the 

last 30 minutes?I discovered the opening to the U.S. on 20 (PA QSO 

Party) -?those guys were sure surprised to hear the '4U' prefix?:-)


This was my last major contest from 4U1ITU this year.? We'll move back

home to Washington, DC in January 2010 and most weekends between

now and then will be?filled with vacation plans (Greece next week, then

Budapest, then?Porto).?? But 4U1ITU will be active in CQWW CW as 

Multi/Single I think, with Nik F5VIH and the gang.?? My thanks to Attila 

OM1AM for letting me?use the station over the last 2 years!
