WOOHOO!!!!! Yay for you, Bert!!!

So, you are going to to the WAC! I know a friend, KN5I, I think he's done
it twice and was on his third time around last time we hung around with him.
The first certificate was absolutely beautiful. The second one wasn't
bad...but much smaller.

Good luck!!

Congrats to you Bert....but I disagree....WAC is simple. Just hang around
on 20 long enough and they will come to you.

I real accomplishment would be WAS on 5bands....I.E. 5BWAS. Now that is
tough.

Congratulations! and fine business. Perhaps we'll run across each other in
a contest someday.

I was wondering the same but it's just coincidence I guess. However, I'm
just a casual operator often stopping at a couple of dozen contacts.
Sometimes I and the OM use his callsign (K8BSG) instead of mine so he can
count some of the DX towards his DXCC instead of mine. He's a General and
I'm an Extra.

What contests do I work? Well I like Sweepstakes, State QSO parties, and
the DX contests. If you are one of the very fast CW ops, I probably passed
you by. For ragchewing, I'm only reliable at 15wpm although somehow I
managed to pass my 20. In contests, I can do 20 to 25 for the limited
exchange but generally have to listen several times through before trying
the station to be sure I have it right. So I stick to seek and pounce.

The most contacts I ever made in a contest was 384. It happened to be the
Feb 2004 ARRL International DX contest on CW.

I did hear you calling CQ one day within the last few months and an African
station came back to you if I remember correctly. So I went on by.

Looking at my log, I've only worked 16 stations in Alabama.

Hmmmm...K8BSG....I'll keep that in mind.

Basically the same here. I love SS

Well I do admit I do slap the key a bit. But I do slow it down to 28 or so
when things slow down...hi.

I do a lot of that, especially in a SSB contest. I just don't care that
much for phone contesting, although I did manage over 500 qso in the ssbwpx
this weekend.
