Usually the first 4 hours of a contest I have a hard time making QSOs
since all the big guns are working each other so I passed on the first
hour so I could cut the grass (it needed it badly). When I finally got
on, 20 was awesome, everyone I called came back on the first call.
Was short of sleep (no contest preparation the week preceeding) so
at 0330z I couldn't keep my eyes open, and 20 was still going strong.
Lost an additional 9 hours with family duties between the two days.
TNX to Martin, ZL1ANJ, for QSOs on 40, 20, 15, real potent signal,
Martin. Lots of fun as usual, and few new prefixes in the log, TNX
to all for the Q's. One of these days I will have a real antenna
and rig (after my daughters graduate from college).
This is to certify that in this contest I have operated
my transmitter within the limitations of my license and have
observed fully the rules and regulations of the contest.
