[SECC] K4OGG, CQWW CW

[Jay Pryor]

Timing of the contest was better for me than when it comes the weekend 
following Thanksgiving. Also, it was nice that there was no UGA football 
conflict.  So this was a sorta serious effort.  I took a couple of pretty 
decent naps and enjoyed the contest.  Conditions seemed good.  It was fun 
working the SECC guys who were on dxpeditions (XT2DX, 9A1A and P40Q)for the 
contest.  But I also think that one of the biggest kicks I got during the 
contest was when the unexpected happened -- like towards the end of the 
contest when I was looking south for new stations and mults and a TF called 
me off the back of the beam for a double mult.  I heard many SECC folks in 
the frey, especially K4WI, NQ4I, K4EA and W4AN/K4BAI.  Also heard K4TEA and 
W8JI doing their thing on the top band, which reminds me that the most 
frustrating thing about the entire weekend was calling EA8ZS over and over 
on 160 and never even getting a "?."  (That was even more frustrating than 
getting beat in a pileup of two stations, me and K2UFT, who lives just up 
the road.  Way to go Dick! )

I should have had a lot more QSOs on 20.
