Comments:
Very limited time to operate this weekend as my wife was flying out
of state to visit family. I wanted to spend as much time with her as
I could since she would be gone for a few weeks. I did not want her
to think my operating was more important than spending quality time
with her. The points I scored with her where much higher than I could
ever score in this contest since I am her number one multiplier (at
least at income tax time).
I had two small windows of opportunity and those were Saturday for
about 7 hours and Sunday for about 4.5 hours. I took advantage of her
commitments those days to get on that radio.
I stuck to 20 meters as the band was in awesome shape. I was surprised
at the number of stations I had calling me and glad to see so many
patient operators.
I only had a total of 5 dupes and they were not too far apart in time,
so not sure why. Band was jam packed and I worked lots of new stations
for the first time. This is by far in the top two of my most favorite
of contests.
I missed DC, NWT, LB, NU and YT.
Thanks for the contacts and sorry to those I missed.
73,
