Hope I didn't let my team down too much. I got a little discombobulated at
the very beginning, and propagation didn't really work in my favor on 20 and
80. Oh well, CU on (ugh) fone!

Comments:

While I was trying to do the two radio thing, it was more like quick easy
band
changes rather than full blown 2R'n. While working 40 at the beginning, I
kept
listening for loud stations on 20. At the end of the contest I thought I
blew it
by not starting on 20, but I don't think things were a whole lot better at
0100Z
than they were at 0000Z. Ended up down 25 Qs from the last two. Still seemed
to do all right on 40, but with 80 being long, it seemed like it was a lot
tougher
with low power. Randy K5ZD did a super job with low power. Where was my old
pal Danny K7SS? Heard MT working SD on 80 and missed them both. Had to do a
bailing twine fix for the 40 meter beam saturday, but it held up ok.
N4ZR started the ball rolling and I followed up in trying to get some MD
stations on. Hope they enjoyed it and will make them a habit! 73
