Comments:
WE WOULD LIKE TO THANKS OUR HOSTS SUSAN AND ALAN FOR SUCH A GREAT WEEKEND OF
CHALLENGES AND HUNTING FOR THE ELUSIVE MULTIPLIERS ON THE TOPBAND.
THE PARTY OPENED WITH A QSO TO K3ZM. WHO BETTER THAN ONE OF THE BRIGGS BROTHERS
TO START OUT A 160 METER CONTEST. I ALSO WANT TO CONGRATULATE K1LZ FOR A FINE
PERFORMANCE. IT MAY HAVE BEEN A BIT BORING AFTER THE TRIP HE JUST RETURNED FROM
BUT WE ARE ALWAYS HAPPY TO WORK HIM IN ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD.
THIS 160 METER SSB CONTEST IS AN EVENT THAT WE ALL HAVE TO LOOK TO THE WEST TO
FIND NIRVANA. WHERE DID ALL OF OUR FRIENDS IN SOUTH DAKOTA AND IN NEBRASKA GO
TO HIDE. I KNOW THAT ALASKA AND WYOMING MUST HAVE ALSO JOINED THEM IN PLAYING
HIDE AND SEEK. PERHAPS LATER WHEN THE WEATHER STARTS TO WARM WILL OUR FRIENDS
COME OUT AND MAKE QSOS. MONTANA IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS EITHER. THEY WERE ALL
WRAPPED UP IN RTTY AND THAT KEPT THEM AWAY FROM THE TOPBAND. WE CAN ALL LOOK
FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE.
I DO WANT TO THANK K0IDX. HE BRAVED THE NORTH DAKOTA WEATHER AND DID MAKE AN
APPEARANCE ON 160 METERS. I HOPE THAT WE CAN SHOW HIM HOW TO DO RTTY FOR THE
OTHER EVENTS OF THE WEEKEND NEXT TIME AROUND THEN ALL OF THESE FINE OPERATORS
WILL SHOW UP FOR BOTH EVENTS. WE CAN ONLY WISH.
OUR FRIENDS IN HAWAII ALSO CAME AROUND AND FOR THAT WE ARE MOST THANKFUL THAT
THEY CAME TO PARTY IN BOTH EVENTS.
CONDITIONS WERE FAIR TO NET A FEW EUROPEANS AND SOME OF OUR OTHER FRIENDS IN THE
CARIBBEAN.
IT IS QUITE A WARMUP TO NEXT WEEKEND AND IT DOES ALLOW US TO WORK OUT THE
KINKS.
SO WE SAY LETS DO IT AGAIN THE NEXT TIME.
