I had not planned on operating this contest because of limited time but decided Friday night to check out the activity. The bands actually seemed very good with many signals S9 and above so I thought what the heck--I started My logging program and entered the necessary information and started making contacts. I haven't had the chance to operate a contest for some time and found it again-to be very enjoyable.Top band is called the "gentlemans " band for a reason and the pace was very comfortable. I also reasoned how nice it would be to add some new states toward 160m WAS-- don't know if I did but at least I tried.
I didn't have a huge QSO total but only operating for a short time Friday night gave Me a contest "fix" and an enjoyable evening before calling it quits.No operation Saturday because of prior committments but there is always next year.The bands like 160m should improve as the rest tank with the solar cycle.
No DX but My inverted "L" radiating 100w performed satisfactory!
