Finally got my email posting problem cleared up, thanks to list adminstrator. I
truly enjoyed the contest and also enjoyed the posts on this service. Now
operating on 7 bands, 6m-2304 with 4 radios and pleased with my score but is
lousy compared to other sysops. Did it the old fashion way, no pingponging,
internet or landline skedding, wifi, diskjockeying, wsjt and not even a dvr. If
others use these methods of contesting and it is legal, go for it. Have fun,
that's what it is all about.I live in a tough ham area with a lot of high power
contesters such as K1TEO, WZIV and other power houses, a couple towns away plus
a neighbor one street away. I too run high power and wish to compliment them
and all the hams in this area who did such a great job "bobbing and weaving" to
avoid each other. Not once did I hear a complaint nor did I give one, yet we
had to kill each other at times. With 50 years of ham radio under my belt, I
feel lucky to be surrounded by these polite operators a
nd knowledgeable hams which a few gave me some great help with my contest
station. Now if I can clean up my act, hone my operating skills and some of the
big guns take up another hobby, I might have a chance..hihi
73's to all and cu in June or maybe a sprint of two..
