315 QSO's...I was aiming for 100
75 sections worked
5 sections not worked (DE, NE, MB, NL and NT...that last two I just couldn't break the pileup and I never heard the other 3)
Score 47250
4 on 80M (1%..I hate 80M)
121 on 40M (38%)
98 on 20M (31%)
68 on 15M (21%)
24 on 10M(7%)
Radio: Flex 1500
Antenna G5RV
Beer: Guinness Black Lager...mmmmmmmm.

Snagged AK on 20M during the last hour on 20M. Got the PAC station on 40M early this morning. It was a good enough way to kill a few hours and enjoy a few cold beers on a weekend. I'll probably go class U n the SSB in a few weeks or I may wander up the river and play with the club station over in MN.

While working towards that phone-capable rig, you may want to take it up. A CW rig can be built out of most anything. You'd have all the parts needed after taking a few things apart, and scrounging pieces.

Heck, you can buy a kit for under $40 that will do CW.

I've never twisted anyone's arm to do CW, but I have occasionally gently encouraged it.

Speaking of arm twisting, I noticed that the Caped CW Crusader KE5FRF hasn't been haunting the Zed in almost 7 months. Too much butt hurt? :snicker:

No clue. Outside of the occasional callsign lookup or tweak to my info there I avoid the Z.

Missed NE.
I heard several NE's but they were doing S & P as I was doing.
I never found one sitting and calling.
