[SECC] contest activity (NOT!)

[Jay Pryor]

Ditto for me on the activity front (or lack thereof).  We spent 
Thanksgiving week out of town and didn't get in last night until after the 
end of CQWW.  At a camp site I saw two RVs that had feed lines running out 
of the window to dipoles strung between trees, and although I was tempted, 
I didn't take the time to ask if I could borrow their stations for a few 
minutes.  I keep thinking that one day I'll put together a QRP rig so I can 
make a few QSOs on such trips.  I will be out of town for both the 160 and 
10M contests, although I MAY be able to get on the air for a short while 
Friday night of the 160 test.

Like Gary, my next big one will be ARRL DX CW.  I'll be low power all 
bands.  The goal, as usual, will be to beat last year's score.  I'm 
thinking that maybe this year I'll also do a full effort for ARRL DX 
SSB.  I've never tried that one.

73,
