Well, I did considerably better in the SKCC Weekend Sprint this month than I
did last month
8 QSO's, in 8 different states, with a bunch of extra points (94) because
the people I "talked" to were advanced people, for a total of 158 points.
The first column is rank & won't mean anything until everyone submits their
data. 3 is my power class (between 5 & 100 W). 5405 is my SKCC number.

Furthermore, I didn't blank on my code once & I only lost one Q because of
klutziness.
Two items noticed: 1) I can't predict what the ionosphere is going to do &
2) my GAP Eagle antenna is not heard well on 40 m (in spite of it supposedly
working & with a decent SWR). All eight contacts were on 20 m, where people
I could barely hear actually answered my CQ's.
Anyway, progress was made & fun was had.
