Had to do juggle this one with family stuff, asking for 24 hours to
contest is out of the question these days ;-)
Made a sweep at 0258Z Monday when KS7T in MT called me! I had to search
for WY and YU/NWT. Good turnout of SF, VT, DE and RI, worked over 4 of each.
Worked Jack, KH6/W1WEF for the only PAC.
I chose low-power thinking I may do well in CO but at 2050Z Sunday K0EU
had 978 q's low-power when I was at #282. Kinda takes the wind out of
one's sails but the fun of operating SS blows it away.
When I went to bed Sunday night I could still hear CW even though the
radio was off! Luckily a good sleep can correct this.
Seriously, I had a great time and thanks to everyone who worked me.
I have the full 24 reserved for SS SSB!
