Comments:
Realizing we did not have enough operators for
a M/M effort we decide dto enter the M/2 class.
Little did we know we would not have enough for a M/2
entry! I (KB1H) had a knee replacement about two
weeks prior and thought I would be able to hang
in the chair for allot of the contest. I was
wrong! I could only do short stints before the
swelling of the knee began and I had to elevate
and ice the knee.
NB1U was the only trooper though K1EBY tried his
best, K1EBY absolutely hates SSB and avoids the
chair as much as possible. These two operators
were the only 48 hour attendees. W1UJ hung in
until about noon saturday and KM1X did 12 hours
overnight Saturday.
Conditions were not bad and when we did run some
choice multipliers called in like VU2 Zone 26.
At one point Sunday morning we had a good 2-3
hour run going on 20M but then the rate dropped
off. Luckily the VU2 answered our CQ and then
worked a fellow YCCCer and told them they were on
same frequecny as KB1H. The YCCC station kindly
moved and the rate went back up. Thanks to whomever
that was.
In conjunction with the contest we held the first
of four "Open Station" Saturdays which was a fairly
successful experiment. We will report on this in
a seperate posting to the YCCC reflector.
Thanks to all the QSOs and this was a good shakedown
for the CW weekend.
