Comments:

Just wasn't feelin' it for WPX this year. It had been a long week, then Saturday
had turned out to be the nicest day of 2013 to date. Our yard needed a lot of
work to prep for the growing season, so that's where my energies were
channeled, in helping the XYL do the big spring cleanup. I had nothing left
afterward for contesting, although I did manage a few hours here and there. All
running this time, almost exclusively stateside as well.

WPX sounds more and more like field day every year with all the "please
copy" and assorted CB/emcomm nonsense from the statesiders. So much so it
turned one of my favourite contests into one I can essentially forget about.

Equipment behaved itself nicely and for once no computer glitches either. It
appears as if I've found a sound card configuration that is functional. I do
think it's time to re-record a few .wav files, however. WPX lends itself to a
different style and some of my old ones could use some updating.

I intend to do a half-decent effort in IARU, but other than that one, CQWW in
October will be my next big forray into the world of contesting.
