Lot of fun , I enjoy short contests and like the idea of working stations a 2nd time for fewer points.

Steve K4JPN

 Worked K4BAI & WA7LNW, thought they were in CO.  Called W0CQC about 50 times but nil sigs.  Also called W0OOW, W0MPR, K0LWV , & K0ZK but nil sigs.  What the heck it was a nice copntest, just with folkes would sign / what ever so you know which direction to point the antenna.

Condx were terrible.  Much noice around .060.

WA7LNW gets the big signal award

W0OOW

My first CQC QRP contest.  Not very diligent about keeping the log, especially the time.  Georgia had a pipeline into Parker, CO. during the whole contest.  I heard K0ZK in Maine, but he could not hear me.  Bummer.  Did not hear very many stations on the band.  Suggest that future contest web page instructions should include recommended frequencies, as some participants may not know to go to 14.060, if that is the right place to go.  I also tried 14.040, but heard nothing there.  Thanks.  I enjoyed this, and will try it again, hopefully with a better antenna than a dipole up 18 feet.

Had a rough week with the basement being flooded.  Sunday was my first day I had to relax.  I fell asleep on the chair and woke up in time for the second hour of operation.  I had a lot of fun and found it a challenge with the weird propagation.  QSB was bad but made it interesting.  Thanks to all for the QSO's from the new QTH.

It was 1859 before CW.  It was 1859 before spark.  It was 1859 before our time was taken away with "reality" television, DVD's, cell phones, and email.  It was 1859 before daylight saving time.  Take a moment to relax and enjoy the "real" world.  This mid-summer event might just build your WAS, DXCC, and provide you with some operating pleasure.

Be a part of history!  Are you certified at 65 WPM?  Good for you.  Are you happy at 8 WPM?  That is just fine too.  Just get on and work someone!
