Howdy Folks, & thanks for a great time!
We started Friday evening with the tent put up in
the 'back 40'. Clear skies, no wind, b e a u t i f u l!
Two of my daughters (7 & 12) figured it would be great
to 'camp out' in daddys tent. Was great till about 3am,
and the 7 yr old was chattering away... (teeth). I hauled
her back into the house & looked at the thermo... 29F!
Great, the multiplier will come in handy (not to be). I got
to play a little on 20 early in the contest, but since no
module for 15 meters on the Sierra, didn't get to try 15.
About 23:00, got to go out & play till the end.. gosh, only
55 degs! hey, where are all the players on 40? oh, there are
a few... try 80, got some, then went back to 40 for the finale.
Bob - wondered why you couldn't hear very well. You had a great
signal on both 20 & 40. Sorry the noise made it tough.
One funny note was when I called KS4IS (who was calling cq test)...
I sent all of my spiel, & then had to ask for power, etc.. after
I asked how hot her shack was (guess that wasn't the proper way to
ask for her temperature?)!, she signed off pretty quick! hehe
Anyway, she was in some kind of YL/OM contest!
Thanks to all who played & stuck through it... the
guy on the ice made me chuckle (& glad I wasn't him).
CUall
