Just finished up with K8BBM to put WY in the log and earn WAS QRP CW! Next goal is WAC, then DXCC. ...and it all started with PA on 7031 on 9/10/03...courtesy of N2EY. Tnx Jim. :-) -- Vy 73 de Bert WA2SI FISTS #9384 QRP ARCI #11782 Congratulations! and fine business. Perhaps we'll run across each other in a contest someday. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE If you contest then how come I ain't never worked ya? Or should I say, which ones do you enter regular? I'll look for you. Dan/W4NTI 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. Hmmmm...K8BSG....I'll keep that in mind. What contests do I work? Well I like Sweepstakes, State QSO parties, and the DX contests. Basically the same here. I love SS If you are one of the very fast CW ops, I probably passed you by. 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. 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. 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. The most contacts I ever made in a contest was 384. It happened to be the Feb 2004 ARRL International DX contest on CW. Good job. 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. Sorry I missed the QSO Dee. Looking at my log, I've only worked 16 stations in Alabama. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE We will find each other one day. Take care Dee. Dan/W4NTI Unless something comes up, I and the OM will be on the Michigan QSO Party under either N8UZE or K8BSG. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
