This one just about didn't happen! On my way out to my lake station in
far NW<br>
Wisconsin (36 miles from home in Duluth, MN) had serious flat tire and
ended up<br>
losing over an hour at the start and the resultant loss of a few
counties. In<br>
spite of that downer, had a great time and it was lots of fun jumping
from CW<br>
to SSB. Only a good antenna and high power allowed the 4 contacts on
20 with<br>
the predictable big fixed stations, so was surprised I did as well as I
did. <br>
Used low (50') rotatable dipole on 40 and my only antenna on 80 is a 4
Square,<br>
which surprisingly did pretty well for this close in stuff. It didn't
take<br>
long once I got on to figure out that the guy to beat from outside was
N4PN. <br>
Played catch up and almost made it, but think Paul probably came out on
top. <br>
Congrats, Paul. Would have been nice to have 20, but think I had some
better<br>
opportunities on the low bands. Enjoyed following the mobiles using the<br>
schedule from K8DD (thanks), but never heard WI9WI! All the rest were
pretty<br>
much on schedule. Couldn't hear the UP guys for the first 2-3 hours (2
almost<br>
esp Q's with K8IR and NE9U excepted), but they really came through in
the later<br>
times. Jim, K8MR, was strong 95% of the time and his abilities and<br>
resourcefullness are really amazing! The mobiles obviously made the
contest<br>
really fun, and all are to be commended for a long day and good work. <br>
<br>
Mobiles stats are: K8MR 33q'S IN 16 COUNTIES, 20CW/13PH, K8IR 18 IN 12<br>
(13C/5P), NE9U 17 IN 10 (10C/7P), W8CAR 12 IN 7 (10C/2P) **noticed you
only had<br>
6 phone q's so honored to have 2 of these!), N9NE 7 IN 3 (4C/3P), W8JJ
5 IN 5<br>
ALL CW, W8RU 3 IN 2 (1C/2P). All the mobiles were very willing to go
to the<br>
other mode when conditions allowed, which was really helpful, hopefully
to us<br>
both. <br>
<br>
I probably did more mult moving in this contest than I have ever done!
Nice<br>
showing by the fixed stations as ssb cqing quite worthwhile. Less so
on cw.<br>
<br>
Not sure how to rate conditions, but heard EU stations calling the
fixed guys<br>
and K8MR on 20, 40 and even 80. 80 did get noisy at times.<br>
<br>
All in all, a very fun contest and hats off to MRRC as sponsor. Thanks
for all<br>
the Q's. <br>

John, N0IJ<br>
