The Story:
Have you ever had one of those weekends where things start bad, like missing
the first two hours due to work commitments, then you get home get settled
for
a semi serious effort, and you turn on the radio and the low bands sound
great,
no noise, you can hear pretty much everything, all over EU, well it just got
better from there.....Skimmer worked like a dream, and my M/2 station was
set
up for SO2R, utilizing the FT9k and a FT1K, the both worked flawlessly under
the control of N1MM, the amps idled at 1500w all day, no problems there...
The
antennas turned when they were supposed to, just a great experience.
40/80/160
were surprisingly good here, as shown by the Q's

I soon noticed that my score was climbing nicely, and was about to call it a
night at 4am, get a few hours sleep, and return in the morning, well I did
some
math and thought at this rate I can challenge the K4 AA record set by
N4RJ(KM9P)
in '91 of 4,481,038 so that kept me in the chair and kept me going. Well
here we
are 46 hours later and apart from a couple of quick breaks and coffee and
food
from the wife, we have a score of 5,330,997. Hopefully the UBN's and Nil's
won't hurt me too much so we will see...

I had a great time, but boy do my ears ache and my head is spinning, and I
can
still hear code with the radio OFF..

This was the First serious (SO2R) operation of the new station and antenna
farm
here at NN4F, so watch out boys, we'll be around big time next year...

Till the next big one... de Paul - NN4F 73
