Comments: On Sunday morning, me and WB0O were less than 1 kHz apart
calling CQ. I got nothing, he had a pile up. No fair.
I figured I had better find a clearer frequency, so I
started tuning up the band. Finally at 14.104.5 I found one.
Is this a popular contest or what? To my surprise, some of
the DX stations actually wandered up that far, past all of the
RTTY. For a little bit my last 10 rate read 138.5. It
has never even been remotely close to that before. I found
out this weekend that this contest is a lot more fun with
yagis than dipoles. The lowlight though, was breaking through
the pileup on V51Z to have him tell me I was a dupe. No, I
think I would have remembered that. Oh well.

I got rid of my old call sign so I wouldn't have to repeat all
of the dits anymore, but then I go and use W0HSC for the whole weekend.
Go figure.
