This was fun. VE3GEJ (my dad) and I shared his station, taking turns operating.
Took time off to install new windows in his house. Took time off to entertain
non-ham guests from DL who arrived to spend the weekend. Took time off to
sleep, eat, and entertain the XYL.
It's a lot easier from California than from here with a mini station,
but it was great saying hello to all the CA friends. This is the best
contest of the year. More fun per Q than any other.
Drank last years wine with dinner on Saturday night. It was actually forwarded
from CA by the post office and not stopped by customs! Thanks NCCC.
See you all on CQWW from C31 in a couple of weeks.
