[WWYC] CQWW SSB NR3X (N4YDU)

[Nathan Moreschi]

What's up gang?!

I had a blast working the SSB contest this past weekend from home with
contest call NR3X. I ran into a lot of the WWYC gang. Conditions were fair
and I hope CW is at least the same. I'm really looking forward to the CW
weekend.

I finished with 1.65 million points as SOABLP. This is a personal best for
me.

I didn't get started until 0300Z because of work and I was already tired
from not sleeping the night before (spent the night at my girlfriend's
college dorm room, too loud for me to sleep!) I ate some bad food Friday
afternoon and got very sick, but I didn't let it stop from operating. I felt
much better on Saturday.

I tried a new energy drink ---- RED BULL ---- It worked quite well for an
hour or so and then it would wear off.  Saturday night I got so tired my
eyes wouldn't focus to read -- everything just got fogged over! I popped my
second RED BULL and that worked for a while until I fell asleep at the
radio.

I was hoping for more activity on #WWYC but it was fun anyway.
