Somtimes times you just knew the guy was going to give you a "Q"....
I
I had 77 sections when I went to bed Saturday night. Missing MS, SB and PAC.
Then MS and SB called me back to back on Sunday mornig. And about noon or so
PAC called me... It was funny. I could hear a six calling me, I answered the
"the six" once but couldnt hear him so ignored him and went back to calling
CQ... After a couple of cq's I could hear his still trying so I tried again...
When I heard the H with the 6 I almost fell out of the chair... He was about
100 db below nothing but managed to pull it out... That was KH6FI.. A little
while later KH6NZ called me and wasn't much stronger... Hey I only have a
dipole... Sure would have been nice to switch to a beam headed west !!!!! After
79 on cw and missing last year it was nice to get the sweep... I missed ND on
cw and had about 5 or them call me in the few couple of hours on ssb. NNY was
probably one of my last 10... But had several call me over the course of the
test.. You just never know.. I had vy, mar, nl very early so I thought it was
going to be an easy sweep... I had almost everything except the 4's ... I
hadn't been to 40 or 80 yet...

Comments:
NNY was last one in the CW test and one of the first in this one. MS was the
most difficult for us, then after we worked one, we must have worked 3 or 4
more.
Lots of good ops out there working under very crowded conditions. Thanks for
your patience. Extrememly difficult at times to pull out the QRP folks.
Good
to hear some young hams on as well as Student stations and several female
hams.
Tnx to all as it was lot's of fun as usual. 73'.....Fred WW4LL
