We had a few new hams and budding CONTESTERS from a local boy scout group
at our FD this year. One was working 20 phone, so I showed him where the
SSTV window was and told him he was apt to get interference there. I said
that with the power levels and antennas we were using, he wouldn't be
able to do anything about it, so it would be best just to ignore that
band segment for now. I don't think he had any problems.
Me? I worked 40 CW straight for 18 hours and made about 720 QSOs. Got
sunburned and didn't have any sleep, but had fun! The FD food wasn't too
bad this year either! :-)
