The story:
I had planned on putting up a 40 meter sloper before the weekend, but
-40 degree wind chills stopped me. We also had a lot of snow too.. So
I had to stick with 20 and 15 meters. I woke up Saturday morning and
played around on the two meter DX frequency, then fired up the
radio... After spending 15 minutes getting my logging program ready,
I worked my first contact.. Things then went at a steady pace until
2200 UTC when I had to go QRT to attend my best friend's wedding.. We
talked about juicy multipliers and lovely pileups and then did the
Macarena! I returned home to find 20 meters dead as a doorknob
(0400Z).... Well, I enjoyed the contest! Hope to see you next week
as I operate as a guest at WA9TPQ's shack for NAQP SSB!
See you in the pileups!
