Comments:
I'm a little depressed. This is my favorite contest, and I see it dying. It's
turned into a CQ-and-beg-for-QSOs contest. Do we need the "OK to work dupes
after 3 QSOs" rule brought back for a while? That would make it fun, but I
suppose invalidate records (or maybe records would not be allowed to be broken
during this revitalization effort)? Dunno. SSB Sprint is still enjoyable, but
it's not as much fun as years past. Am I just getting old and cranky? Email me
direct with your thoughts.
Congrats to big scores from KW8N, NR5M, W9RE, W6YX and others. I need more
hardware! At times I had no idea where to point my antenna, because I need to
be loud in at least 3 locations.
A tip of the hat to N4OX who was forced to use an old rig with a HAND MIC the
whole contest and still turned in a good score! Also a big thanks to members
of our local club that got into the fray and helped pass out some QSOs.
Wisconsin shouldn't have been hard to work in this one.
Mults missed: MI, MO, ND, NM, OK, RI, VT, WV, VE2/5/6/8
No NA DX worked (although E51USA called in -- not a mult, but cool anyway!)
See you in Feb (I think)
