Comments:
- Thanks all for QSOs. Worked a lot of "reflectorians"
- Probably this was my last ARRL CW from KP4VA, graduation
is getting closer. I am very sad cuz couldn't improve my
last year score. It's hard to do due to condx.
- The competition started terrific, 210Qs the first hour.
My personal best!
- The mornings were the borest of the weekend. I had never seen
the 20m band so crowded. Saturday I called CQ at 14.085!
and Sunday, couldn't find a clear freq to call CQ, so S&P.
- Got a short-but-loud opening in 10m Saturday that didn't
happened Sunday. On Sunday afternoon, I found NP4A calling
CQ with no takers. Boy, that really means the band was closed!
- VQ9DX (AA5DX) called me on 15m. I though it was another
of those crazy VE calls! ( My mind switch was not in the
"DX-call-recognition" position! ). The rate was not good so
I started to chat with him.
CU on phone. We are plannig a M/S with several students including
some YL's! We hope to hear you all again. 73's
