ARRL 10 Meters

I thought I would skip the 10 M contest -- too much happening on the family / holiday front, and surely the band is going to be dead. Well...

I checked in this afternoon just to see, and by golly there were openings to the south (FL - Caribbean - Brazil) and to the west (XE and W6).  Along with some local folks.  I ended up with 16 mighty Q's and 13 multipliers.  And I resisted the temptation to use the afterburner!  Ten meters is a low-power band, right?

Now, I'm a believer in gray-line propagation.

BARTG RTTY result

My first ham contest in a long time was the BARTG RTTY affair in March.  I just checked up on the results and found where I fit into the grand scheme of things.  I don't feel bad about it, though there's a lot of room for improvement! (These are the 328 "non-expert" full contest entries.)
