That's because this is an east coast contest. Thanks to scoring rules,
it's not much fun from west of the Rockies.
I was on for a couple of hours early evening my time, and again for an
hour beginning around 3:30 am my time. In protest of those lousy scoring
rules, I'm running 100W. During that last hour, I worked several NC, two
FL, two MA, RI, NH, two VA, two PA, VE2, five VE3, two TN (including old
friend N2WN), two GA, two AL, MI, OH, IN, IL, WI, AR, and IA.
Some alligators, most notably KV5Y who was a real S9, and who I must
have called a dozen times on several S&P runs. Worked a bunch of guys
who were at the edge of my noise, roughly S2.
I'll be trying again for a few hours tonight, with a goal of WAS with 100W.
73, Jim K9YC
