Comments: My sixth Phone SS and consecutive Clean Sweep. Another
personal best in this event. Never checked 160m but
later learned there was activity on Top Band, meaning I
missed some points. 20m was a disappointment for me,
as I was about 153 Qs from my goal. Anxiety about
working NL (which I missed in CW) quickly diminished
when VO1IMB called me in first 3 hours. Last two were
AK and NWT. Worked 2 AK back to back and then VY1JA
for another Sweep @ 2153z Sunday (TU). If there was an
award for "Most Polite Op" I'd nominate KG2MR. The 75m
Pig Farmers were out for mud. I put on my boots and
rolled up my sleeves. "These boots are made for
walkin' and that's just what they'll do; one of these
days these boots are gonna. . ." There was one guy, in
particular, who was really slingin' the slop at me who
identified himself but wouldn't complete the exchange,
who said to me, "I feel like a used whore." I did NOT
think it was funny at the time. I miss CW already.
Hey, I'm only human. "I really looove you man." GN
