Interesting contest.... Grid square exchange keeps it unique.

Best DX was KL7RA. I also worked KV4FZ but that was it. My 160 antenna
is still
a cloud warmer so I don't even dream of working EU! The grid map in
Win-Test
looks like 90% of all my QSOs were within 700 km of my QTH!

I'm not going to judge the conditions because I was only on for a couple
of
hours. I only swept the band a few times looking for stations, then I
called
CQ. I had the speed set at 40 wpm and the first half hour kept a steady
rate at
about 90 / hour. Considering this is a 160 contest and the Stew Perry
warm-up I
don't think that's to bad!

This was the first time I've even touched a radio since before going
back to
school in August... It's nice to get back on the air. There wasn't great
activity towards midnight so my grandpa (K9MMS) and I ragchewed for
about 10
minutes in between one of my runs. It sure was GREAT to get into a CW
contest
again! I've missed it! Thankfully the contest season is just around the
corner.

See you from WZ8P (hopefully) in SS CW and K3LR for CQWW CW! (No, I'm
not going
to 6Y1V for WW CW)

73!
