I think we were all pleased with our<br>> first-ever effort in this category. It will be interesting to see how we<br>> stack<br>> up regionally with our score, i.e., if we are competitive there. And I'm<br>> sure<br>>
we'll see some big numbers from the East Coast stations. Dallas, K1DW use<br>> to<br>> contest with the KB1H gang years ago. So congrats to them for a nice<br>> score as<br>> posted on the Getscores.Org web site.<br>><br>> Thankfully no visits from Murphy - no hardware or software issues surfaced<br>> to<br>> detract from the operation. But the last several weeks of contests has<br>> highlighted areas for improvement, so we will focus on those and not mount<br>> any<br>> serious contest efforts until the ARRL DX slate of activities in February<br>> and<br>> March next year. All it will take is time and money.<br>><br>> Also, we were joined this time by Bill, K5YG and appreciate him traveling<br>> from<br>> his Ocean Springs, MS QTH to help us out and a great help he was! (Bill<br>> is one<br>> of Marshall's (K5QE) key ops at the East Texas VHF contest station.)
And<br>> although we ran a few times, most of the effort was S&P.. It seems there<br>> were<br>> stations aplenty to contact. We had fun on 80M with the new antenna and<br>> both<br>> 20M and 40M gave us a lot to pick from. I've seen 15M in better shape<br>> earlier<br>> this year and 10M, although improving, is still poor in our area -<br>> although<br>> this time we were able to work a few far western Euro and West Africa<br>> stations,<br>> besides just the Caribbean and South America.<br>><br>> Again, many thanks to my XYL for allowing the crew to come and go at all<br>> hours<br>> and for preparing our meals, for which we are all very grateful.<br>><br>> So from the folks here, we wish all of you and safe and joyous Holiday<br>> season<br>> and will probably see you in the pile ups next February & March.<br>><br>> 73,<br>> Ted, KN5O for W5RU (The Delta DX
