Comments:
Late Sunday, just prior to sunset, I stopped CQing and combed twenty carefully
with my beam north, looking for a NWT station. Sure enough, six minutes later,
I found a very weak and fluttery VY1EI on 14027. He was sending
pretty slow CW,
had just finished up with a station and he came right back to me with a low
serial number. I never heard anyone else call him when we finished.
After 45+ years of the Sweepstakes (well, some off-years too) there is still a
magical feeling when you tune the band with your HF receiver and find that
elusive, fluttery VY1 or VE8 for a Clean Sweep. Recommended therapy for those
packet addicts out there...!
Thanks to all for a fun weekend.
