Comments:
First, thanks to Bob NX5M and his family for the use of his wonderful place.
Everything ran smoothly as usual and had a great time.
Couldn't make Friday night because of graduation, but, instead got there and
started around 1200UTC Saturday morning. This seemed to be a very slow and
uneventful contest for me. Hit the CQ button way too much before getting a call.
Conditions to EU/UA were particularly bad. I was told I was pretty loud in EU
but storms on Saturday afternoon made it very tough to copy. Had to quit
Saturday night around 0500UTC because of a huge cell heading for us.
Slept until around 1200UTC Sunday morning and hit it again. This time conditions
to EU were tremendously better. Things went well for the rest of the contest
until around 2315UTC when a squall line hit just south of us; way too close for
comfort. So, I ended up finishing a little earlier than expected which didnt
bother me.
