A big thank you to Frank and XYL for letting me invade the shack.
The contest was a great lift to my spirits.
Best DX was S9SS 19 pts.

16 pts: YZ7A, UX5NQ, RL3A, UA3TCJ, RU3DX, KH6/N6KB
Had 107 QSOs that were 10 or more points.
I thought it was strange the beverage selection knob didn't seem to
matter for direction. Well...at about 0730z I actually looked around
some more and found a box on the right side of the table labeled
"Bev / Xmit antenna"...So I get the dork award for that one! Glad the
band was quite. Ended up not using the beverages for almost 10 hrs of
the contest, ugh! Someday I won't make any mistakes in a contest, yeah right!
Had a fun competition with Jerry KE9I. Too funny being able to talk on
cell phones while in the contest! Thought for a moment that I might
not get a QSO from him...now that would be funny. Ended up catching him
CQing early in the morning. Looks like the 600 or so miles helped me out
in points but Jerry won the QSO total competition. Jerry got me hooked
on Stew Perry when he invited me over for a M/O years ago. Thanks Jerry!
