NOT.

11 Q's, 5 sections, about 30 minutes of operating

TS930s w/tuner, 40m dipole (new neighbors haven't complained yet;
the tower's coming!  The phoenix will rise!)

loudest:  K6LL owes me for a new ear

highlight:  someone actually heard me

highlight:  going to dinner at Clemson U's new conference center
with mom, dad, brother, wife and children to celebrate older son's
12th birthday (darn they grow up so fast!)

lowlight:  TS930 tuning acting flakey at times  (HELP:  who's the
930 guru out here, AA4??)

1996 NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION:  I WILL CONTEST!!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all you out there
who have taught me so much this year.  Thanks for sharing your
secrets.

God bless us all....  :-)

73,

I have to agree, there were very few /N and /T stations out there in
the phone segment.  I operated phone only.  I got all the addresses
from the QRZ callsign server for the QSOs I made and there was only
one Tech+ in the whole list.  And he was from Puerto Rico! I had a
great time despite the bad conditions.  This was my first attempt at
operating single op.  I picked up 6 new countries and 17 new states. 
Look for my cards soon!  

To make a comment about the additional categories in the contests, I
like the awards for the /N and /T stations as it does give some more
parity to the contest.  I just wish there were more out there to
compete with.  From looking at last years scores I think I have a
good shot at winning my division (Delta) as there was only one other
/T station that entered in the phone only/low power category.  That's
not competition!  Maybe there will be more entrants this year.  I just
know that I gave it a good effort despite the low score.  I listened
to hiss for a LLOONNGG time.
