i never fail to be impressed at how well you can do with a simple station from the midwest.
even with my bandage on, i was able to work about 175 stations in the 160 contest.
surprising that i never heard many of the normal stations i usually work, N6RO, K4BAI, and the loudest (at 449 tops) stations from the left coast were K7RAT, WA7LT, and VE7CC in that order.
 
but now i have my carpal tunnel bandage off, and am ready to go home, a good time was had by all
