Timing of the contest was better for me than when it comes the weekend
following Thanksgiving. Also, it was nice that there was no UGA football
conflict. So this was a sorta serious effort. I took a couple of pretty
decent naps and enjoyed the contest. Conditions seemed good. It was fun
working the SECC guys who were on dxpeditions (XT2DX, 9A1A and P40Q)for the
contest. But I also think that one of the biggest kicks I got during the
contest was when the unexpected happened -- like towards the end of the
contest when I was looking south for new stations and mults and a TF called
me off the back of the beam for a double mult. I heard many SECC folks in
the frey, especially K4WI, NQ4I, K4EA and W4AN/K4BAI. Also heard K4TEA and
W8JI doing their thing on the top band, which reminds me that the most
frustrating thing about the entire weekend was calling EA8ZS over and over
on 160 and never even getting a "?." (That was even more frustrating than
getting beat in a pileup of two stations, me and K2UFT, who lives just up
the road. Way to go Dick! )
I should have had a lot more QSOs on 20.
