[CQ-Contest] The High Bands Were Good !

[jimk8mr at aol.com]

Lots of people have noted that the high bands were good this weekend, but how many realize just how good?
Not being at a serious FD effort, I played around doing things that one would not normally do in a competitive contest, like going to odd bands. At 1530Z Sunday I went to 2M SSB to see if I could add to my one QSO there the previous evening.  While it took some effort with my mere 10 watts there (K3 with internal transverter) I worked two guys in North Texas, which made NTX my most worked section on that band, vs. one each in WPA and Ohio.
A shame that could not have happened two weeks earlier for the June VHF contest!
