I was planning a solid SOAB LP effort with my new callsign. I ended up with a
leisurely SOSB on what beforehand I considered my weakest band: 80 m (not
counting 160 where I have no antenna at all). Contest started with things
falling apart for upper bands, resulting in the operator peeved and gravelled
beyond the point of "having fun". I could keep adding to aggravation or regroup
for the second night and do 80 with no receiving antennas, "radially challenged"
vertical and low power - all no good on lower bands. C'est la vie, c'est la
guerre. After I reminded myself that I am not a "serious contester" and
recalled my uncle's saying (he had one for everything): "if you don't have what
you like, like what you have", I managed to get back into the "fun mode" and
enjoy the contest. Thanks to everybody who made it into my log. To those who
didn't: try harder next year :)
