This was memorable only because conditions were so disturbed.
N1MM says about 11 hours, though it seemed I spent more time
than that. That doesn't include a 6 hour overnight stint at K1KP's
fine station.
Spotted every station I worked and stations previously worked on sweeps up
and down the bands if they weren't populated on my local map. Sometimes
I feel like it is a bit of marketing. Hey, look at all these neat spots,
maybe I'll join the contest.
Two highlights were working a stateside ham on 10M who had just put up
his antenna and I was his first contact. He was glad it was working. Turns
out he lives about a mile from me. LoL. Had a short chat with him and
maybe we have a future contester in the making.
The other highlight was working an EA3 with a station-crushing signal on 80M
about 20 minutes before the end. He really wasn't in the contest but gave
me his power. I stuck around and engaged in a proper ragchew.
See you all in the next one, whenever that is....
