I had problems with my radio this weekend
and was able to get on 160 only after
sunrise. I'd planned on taking part
throughout the contest but that little
wrench sidelined me. But Eddy, I did
manage to work you! :)
Instead of firing up the Alpha I went
barefoot at 70 watts and was able to work
almost everyone I heard. Exception was a 7
and a 5 who couldn't hear me. No DX could
I hear other than my Neighbors to the
North.
Still fun!
