Let's see... what did I do this lovely summer weekend? Hmmm... nailed in a dozen
top caps on the deck post upright 4x4s, re-stained the front door, repaired the
guest bathroom door molding, painted almost 100 feet of the house deck railing
skirt facade, took the dogs on a couple of obligatory mile-long walks, battled
the Saturday morning crowds at the local Shop-Rong Supermarket to pick up a few
groceries, spent some quality time with the XYL for a few meals.... and...
and.... OH - THAT'S RIGHT - NOW I REMEMBER - the WAE CW Contest! Passing by the
shack door while doing all this stuff, I was somehow able to sneak in the shack,
unnoticed by Management, and squeeze in some operating - when I wasn't too
exhausted, that is. This was a watershed event for me, since I had always hated
QTCs... and now I feel like the second half of the title of Dr. Strangelove - to
paraphrase: "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love QTCs." I must
say, N1MM+ made it possible. Oh, you want some QTCs? No problem. Just press
CTRL-Z. Repeat the call? press 2. Repeat the serial number? press 3. Easy-Peasy
- even I could do it, thanks to all those N1MM gurus! It even keeps track of who
got how many QTCs and how many more they can have in a subsequent request
without the clown popping out of the computer, throwing a pie in your face and
making everything crash. Amazing program.

But seriously, folks - WAE CW is an oasis in the summer doldrums. Beach? What's
that? Give me a contest. No messy sunscreen needed, no sand in your underwear,
and no sharks (well, except maybe those corporate Pay-to-Play stations up in
Maine, but that's another story). Conditions on 20 at times were a bit weak,
some guys couldn't hear my 100 watts, 80M was noisy and 15M was more or less
comatose, but overall, thanks to 40M and 20M, activity was not too bad and I
had fun. Just sorry I couldn't do more hours, but what can you do - the
honeydos rule the roost. Thanks to all for the Qs - and the QTCs!
