We used the name Shannon in memory of Shannon Harps, the 31 year old daughter of
K8NZ, who tragically was killed on New Year's Eve. The story of this can be
found at:

Things started out pretty slow, and about sundown I saw no way I was going to
spend the rest of the night fighting bad conditions. I took time to read the
newspaper, catch the between football stuff, etc. But the bands recovered and
kept going well until the end. This may have been my biggest NAQP score ever.
About 1930z I asked local AF8A to move to 10 meters, figuring I ought to get my
one multiplier up there out of the way. When I moved, I heard other signals!
Worked Gary, and another bunch of W6's and nearby. Got a bunch of ?? from W7ZRC
but no QSO. Had six band qsos with W6YX and VE3EJ.
This was the first contest for the Molly, the new cat in the house. At one
point, while crawling around the keyboard, she somehow managed to hit <INSERT>
just about the time K0KX was asking for a repeat, so the appropriate info went
out. I hope this did not make me multiop.
Do I qualify for the Classic Radio Contest? All the 40 meter qsos were with
the 1980 vintage TS-830S. Still works!
73 & Happy New Year,
Jim K8MR
