Comments:

I won a Heil headset at the contest banquet this year, so I figured it was a
sign to try operating a few more phone contests. I've got a long way to go on
phone, including solving a bad ground loop problem with my computer sound card
and DX Doubler. This might have been the most phone QSOs I've made as a single
op. Biggest problems were QRN from a nearby power pole, and a terrible ringing
in my ears ever since using a chain saw without ear protection a few weeks ago.


The conditions on 10 meters were just amazing. It's been a long time since I've
made SSB QSOs above 29MHz! Would have liked to put in even more time if I could
have. Here's hoping that these kinds of conditions repeat for CQWW CW. Hope to
see some of the NA CW crowd in CW SS this weekend.

73, Kirk K4RO
