NA version 10
NAQP is always great fun but, no ant on 160 sure hurts
the multipliers. Big mistake of this one, not paying
enough attention to 15 and 10! Biggest pain of this one:
1. Thunderstorm last couple of hours made hearing very difficult.
2. A new experience for me but, something many of you have dealt
with already. What is it? Toddler QRM! Our recently adopted 2 year
old was having a bad day and causing lots of QRM upstairs. Caused
a constant struggle between operator's need to contest and the guilt
of a absent father eating away at him, hi. Finally gave in and went
up to help put him to bed. Shouldn't this be at least worth a mult
for such good behavior? : ) Guest operating looks like a pretty
good idea to me now! Real ant's and no toddler would sure be fun.
I'm working on getting the two radio thing going here. Can't do
much to improve ant situation so only way to improve score is
another rig. Just have to sneak it by the wife!
