I always try to work Ed a couple hours into the contest. I know if his sent exchange SN is only 500% higher than mine, I'm having a good start!

My tongue was firmly placed in cheek when I posted.  I guess I should
have put in some :) or LOL's or HI HI's!

You were always loud.  Thanks for the Qso's!

Hey, Mike, take it easy on yourself! That sort of stuff happens to me all the time, and in my case it is often self-inflicted. I don't believe many,
if any, of these things happen intentionally.  If they ever were to be
intentional, I'd just pity the person. Frankly, I don't recall any issues
with our QSOs.  I just hope I didn't mess up too often myself.

I had a blast working everyone this week.  It was as much fun for me as
those calling me to watch the evolvement of the Club Log Leaderboard.  I
hope I didn't offend to much of the DX community by turning the P49X page
into a DX Hog Festival.

It was a challenge trying to manage 26 band-modes across 24-hour propagation and the various worldwide regionsduring the week leading up to RU. I'm sure
there were deficits and it is a continual learning experience for me.

As for RU, what an adrenalin rush!  The first couple hours were the
proverbial firehose. The personal best rates are as much attributable to all my QSO partners as to myself. I can only optimize my side of the QSO
and must relay on the other operator's operating skill to achieve a
coordinated dance that logs valid QSOs at a high rate.

'Til next time,
Ed P49X/W0YK

Every time I went to work Ed, I screwed something up! I mean every time.
Someone must of put some weird voodoo on my station.

The first time I was off freq of some thing. After that the computer would send my call after I had his info. Apparently N1MM decided that I didn't
have his info.  That happened a few times even when I was trying to make
sure it did not.  I am still unclear what the underlying issue was.

Ed-Sorry to be a pain in your backside. I was amazed that in little bit of
time how many contacts he had made on other bands while we sorted out my
mess!

I will endeavor to be more prepared next time. Thanks for the contacts and
If you never work me again, I would understand!  HI!
