Highlights:
Getting Wyoming on 4 bands! Thanks to W0ETT/m! Way to go Ken!
4 hours of > 90Q (but less than 100!)
working n4va! (one morse character different, the only other person that
close is n6vi whom I've worked a time or two.)
The 40m dipole at least getting out on 80m. I tried calling CQ and the
only answer I get was n2ic! I had plans for a real 80m antenna,
but needless to say, it didn't happen. I won?t bore you with the
details. Simply put, using a 40m antenna on 80m is NOT a good strategy!
Misc notes:
Started the contest 40 minutes late, that probably hurt my 10m qso and
mult count. Felt like I was late to every band after that. Two radio?s
would definitely help that feeling.
I think I've got next week reserved for phone, hope to see most of you
then!
