Comments:

Some people do things the hard way, and I’m one of them!    My operation was
on 6 meters, and CW ONLY!     I can remember the days when you would be lucky
to make 50, or even 25 QSOs on 6 meters in a  VHF Contest.    Things have
changed for the BETTER!

While there was very little action from the East Coast, it was great to see
some fantastic openings to the West Coast on Saturday, and the “heartland”
on Sunday.    I’m sure I’ve never worked as many W6 stations on 6 meters
before.     There was a good sprinkling  of 7 and 5 call area stations on
Sunday to keep things interesting.

About all we lacked was an opening to Europe.    That would have been the
frosting on the cake, but I guess we can’t have everything.

The East Lansing DX Club call W8NJ was in the hands of Dave â€" KC8CC, who put
on a Rover operation from the northern Minnesota area.    Originally he was
going to do the operation in northern Ontario, but the cold weather on the 
northern shores of Lake Superior was a bit tough on someone who now lives in
Arizona.   Anyway, he had fun too.

There was some very fine CW on the Magic Band this weekend.    I surely enjoyed
all the action!
