No keying interface....so had to send the whole contest by hand - and it showed
since I found it very hard to send P4/W2GD and not P40W after nearly 20 years.
Have a much better appreciation for DXpeditioners who must use a / callsign.
Yuck!
Condx were best on 20M as expected. 40M was just OK. 80M QRN was very tough
and had no time this afternoon to hook up the beverage. Just 2 band changes.
Still a very nice way to spend a Saturday evening. PHIL G. got a very nice and
appropriate tribute...RIP my friend.
Only section heard but missed was MD. KH6/W6PH called in but Kurt my friend,
its not a counter. Nice to also hear K6VVA/KL7, VY1/N3DXX and NP3D. Oh, VE9DX
snuck in there too.
Never heard RI, VT, KY, UT, ND, SD, UT, NF, NS, VE2, VE4, VE5, VE6, or VE7.
I'll claim a new Aruba record in the NA Sprint for my effort. :-)
Will be back here for CQWW PH and CW as P40W in the months ahead.
73,
John W2GD
