Whoo-hoo! Great Condx, great ops, and Murphy stayed away entirely. What
could be better?

 

TenTec Omni VII, MicroHAM MicroKeyer II interface, Alpha 87A,

"80"-40-20-10M: 40M OCF Hy-Power Dipole up about 25', 15M rotatable dipole
up 28'.

 

I always stay a bit on their frequency to listen to how my contesting
buddies are doing - this time I literally broke out laughing when I heard
the pile-ups on Gary AL9A - good grief, I don't know how he picked anyone
out of all that mess - it sounded like "The Running of the Bulls" through
beer cans three feet deep!!!

 

My "dig N6HE out no matter how long it takes" award this year goes to S58N
on 40M - he stayed so long getting my call in the S-2 sigs / QRM I was
hoping he'd quit so he could move on to more QSO's without me in his log - I
was starting to get embarassed - he just kept at it until we completed!!!

Thanks, Mike!!!!

 

I heard one CQ-ing op after not getting the call of a station after a
looooong time send "sri bad cw   cq test...." (I agreed) I love it!

 

What's with some stations being locked up on CQ TEST for minutes on end with
hardly a gap - is their software locked up or did they take a potty break
and want to hold the frequency?

 

Personal best for me this year. I had a blast!!!!

 

Thanks for all the Q's - it's great to work all my contesting friends!!!

 

See you in the next one,
