Comments:
First, thanks for the QSO's! Just a part-time effort to hand out a few Q's and
gather some new countries on SSB on the high bands. High point was the 10M LP
QSO with BV1EK on Sunday morning. Low point(s) were getting beat out in
several pileups by WW4LL and KY5R. Congrats on your station improvements,
guys! The results showed this weekend.
I finally got curious about what KY5R and KC4HW were up to after they beat me
out several times in pileups. I told them that I was going to drop by for an
eyeball QSO. It took me about 45 minutes to an hour to get over there. When I
walked into the KY5R superstation shack, it was pretty warm, and they were
sitting in Burmuda shorts perspiring and sipping tropical refreshments. I have
to figure they spent my travel time hauling the 3-hole Alpha 77SX out to the
garage (Tim must have bought one of N4KG's surplus amps) and rolling up the 3"
hard line... Quite an impressive feat for a couple of OF's like them... :-)
Now, I have to say I totally don't understand the excitement associated with
this mode... Frankly, I would rather be stripped, covered with honey and staked
to a fire ant hill than operate SSB... LOL! My hat is off to you guys who do
this mode well!
73,
Rick
