Last week, everybody was complaining about lack of activity. This week I could understand what happened to everybody, during the UHF contest. Saturday, I got up in time to check into the West Central Florida Section ARES net, at 0830 EDT. I left for the gym around 0930. Got back from the gym, around noon. Upon arrival at home, I was presented with an Air Conditioner problem. (In Florida, in August, no A/C is an emergency!) Resolved the A/C problem. Cleaned up and mowed the yard - I have an acre and a half. Took a shower. It was 1845. I made three contacts. 

Paul, KJ4G was out on St. George Island, in EL79, running 100 W into stacked moxons @ 20'. He made a lot more QSOs than I did. Stations in EL 79 are always popular! Maybe I should move to FM 13?
