Catch me napping? You didn't catch me napping. You went out and beat the crap
out of me when I was on top of my game.
It was a superior effort by Ty who had not been active in the last couple of
years. He deserved the win and I'm glad he got it. He did teach me a valuable
lesson which I hope will help me in the future about how I operate this event.
With 7 NAQP RTTY plaques on the wall, it goes to show that you are only as good
as your last effort. I'll be in there on Saturday but after two tropical storm
scares (TS Cindy kicked our butts - worse storm I've been through) and Emily on
the way, I've been spending more time preparing for storms instead of preparing
for RTTY contests. I bought a 5 kw generator and am in the process of
redesigning my hurricane shutters to speed the process of boarding up the house
and evacuating. It's the price you pay for living on the Gulf coast but I'll
never leave here (XYL orders!).
I received my NAQP certificate yesterday. Thanks to K4WW for all his hard work
and everyone else involved. The NAQP RTTY contest is excellent fun and from
seeing February's results, it's becoming quite popular.
Good luck to everyone this weekend. Have fun, that's the reason we do it!
73, Don AA5AU

I just received the Single Op RTTY plaque as well and again, thanks to ICOM and
Ray Novak for sponsoring the wood! Of course, Shelby gets kudos for handling
the awards in such a timely manner!
I'm sure it wont last long, but I was really thrilled to catch Don napping and
break his previous SO record!
