Comments:
One band change, from 20m to 40m, 1.5 hrs into the contest. A band change for
me entails slogging out to the mast through hip-deep snow, lowering dipole #1,
connecting the feedline to dipole #2, raising it up again, then back to the
shack. Takes a few minutes for the fingers to thaw; wet fingers stick to cold
PL259's!...
I always seem to forget how hard these Sprints are. If these don't make me a
better CW contester, nothing will.
CCO members worked: VA3NR and ZF1DZ; heard Bob VE3KZ, but couldn't raise him.
High point: working a weak & watery Jay VY1JA on 40m with 7 minutes to go! A
close second is Yuri making all the kW's shush by sending "VE3?" and letting me
work that DX! Thanks, OM.
Had fun, think I qualified for the "Worked-All-Cat" award. Must have 30 of them
in the log, hi.
Go Go CCO!
73 to all,
