What a great contest!! N5GBO and I went up to the a picnic ground near
the foothills of the Sandia Mtns near Albuquerque. It was an ideal site
with table(concrete was cold),and a leantoo. First thing I noticed was
the wind. Usually I cuss it, but today it was blowing about 10mph. YES,
I can put up the kite!! I really wanted a kite to kite contact with N0UR.
We did make a contact but the wind would not blow in MN. We made about 50
contacts mainly on 40m. Just a few stats: Most common pwr level was
5W.Furthest station worked was Panama.Most common temp was 72degrees.
Made contacts with the following familiar calls:W6EMT,K5TZY. Temp at the
operating site was 40F with wind about 10mph.Thanks Joe for the great
idea for this contest....now on to the CQC contest..72, Tom WB5QYT
