[CQ-Contest] thoughts from a Louisiana Contest Sweepstakes OP

We again had a blast as the hoist of the North West Louisiana Multi-OP SS
Phone Team

OPS were

KA5M, N5FH, K5RV, K5SL, N5SH, KF5XV, Myself (KG5VK) and the new member of
our team Chris WX5CW
and attending in memory Richard Lea NZ5S (Richard was lost to cancer early
this year and is a silent key)

Our score was improved over last year when AE5T took first place from us
Our breakdown was

80m 307
40m 337
20m 401
15m 44

A clean sweep attained with Marsh KA5M working KP4 Sunday morning
Total score 174,240 points.

We are excited that our state now has a contest club (The Louisiana Contest
Club) and hope to see it continue to grow
even though this brings us more competition for first place in LA, a first
place plque on the wall is a small sacrifice for more contest camaraderie
within our state !

By the way you know your a real Sweepstakes contester when your mom hoolars
*"Did ya Sweep, yet ?"* across the fence
while giving some guest ops a Sunday morning tour of the antenna farm

We did and we had a blast !

Thanks to all that have worked us and the Ham Radio spirit that lives in
every one of us !
