QRN First night was horrendous. Could only work the loud ones.
Second night was the DX Night. Worked all 50 states, and finally
got Alaska on 160 ( KL7Y - Thanks for answering CQ! ) Worked no EU or
JA the first night, but plenty of both the second. A few new 160 DXCC
countries were worked. I doubled my score from last year, with
basically the same station, plus the crooked beverage. What a contest!
Many highlights, and a few lowlights. See the follow-up story if I get
around to writing it. (Where is that stash of round tuits anyway?)
Thanks for the QSO's!!! 73, Kirk WR3O
