Comments:

My first attempt at SO2R. My first NAQP RTTY. Special thanks to Brad, K6IDX,
for
the use of his great station. The West coast is tough for this type of
contest,
even without flares. I heard many on 80M, but few could hear me. Later
openings
on 40 and 80 as well as few stations in the short skip zone made 20M the
money
band. No MT, NV, DE, SD, GA (huh?). Missed the usual VE's.

The flare made for a nice nap.

Colophon: Writelog, MMTTY, MMTTY Plugin on one PC. FT-1000MkV. 7 on 10M, 7
on
15M, 6 on 20M, 3 on 40M and a 4 square on 80M. All at 3500' in El Dorado
county
California.
