CQ CONTEST from Tinman! 
We all remember the Wizard of OZ movie - right?!

First contest for the Icom IC-7100 so was fun to break it in. 

I was wishing for G.O.D. to intervene (Good Old Days). Seems like participation
was way down from years past?! Maybe I'm an old timer now, hah! Not sure why the
CW Open contest is the same weekend?! 

I hate that when I call CQ and the answering person DOES NOT SEND THEIR
EXCHANGE (and must QSY too!). I removed K3UA from the log because of it... And
for heaven sake please don't send a leading "T" for numbers (or send
the whole ZERO)!

Just giving out points (and the freq) by calling CQ mainly. Wasn't sure how I
would feel before the contest since I went sailboat racing on Lake Michigan
earlier in the day which resulted in sea sickness (or should it be lake
sickness). Maybe I should have used the name PUKER, hah! Mother Nature strikes
again! Lost some time getting a pizza for the family for dinner.

Until we meet again on the airwaves,
