What a tool.
I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.
I ended up missing the best part of the California QSO party because the grandkids had a birthday party that day and the XYL and I were drafted into transport duty.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
At least for today (Saturday 10-8-2011) I stuck with the Makrothen RTTY Contest.
I did make one Q though, Steel City Club W3KWH on 6m phone.
After the Makrothen is over tomorrow at noon, I may do some PA-QP
just for the halibut.
OK...I couldn't resist.
Once the Makrothen was over for today (Saturday) I just HAD
to do some PA-QP. Ended up with 83 Q's just screwing around.
I didn't hear much of the BULLSHIPPING that I do not care for
during QSO Parties, it was mostly contest exchanges and move on.
I HAVE to complete the Makrothen tomorrow (starts at 0800z until 1600z)
I am just over 1.3 million points in that one.
I'm hoping 10m REALLY opens up tomorrow morning.

I heard a lot of PAQP stations on the air yesterday from the special event station at the wildlife refuge. I'm starting to hate serial numbers as part of the exchange. It really discourages people from making a quick QSO if they have to try to remember what number they gave out last. I just kept the VFO moving and skipped over them. I'll hop on today for a while now that I'm home and can better track and log who I work.

Thanks for working me Bill, I do appreciate it. Don't recall any other Island related calls, but I don't have the log in front of me at the moment.
403 QSOs
301 SSB
102 CW
Clean sweep of all 67 counties
Tentative net score over 50,000 points
Survived daughter's date to the Homecoming Dance.
Biggest surprise, outside of the drama of nailing down the last few counties, was getting a call late Saturday night (EDT) on 75 from N7NG in Wyoming. Nice to know that my 160 Inverted "L" is doing gangbusters out west... on 75 phone! Nice to hear from Wayne as well, of course.

Nah. Just tell the station you're not in the contest and give them a number. Any number.
I worked KP2DX for my Virgin Islands Section mult on 15 SSB, yesterday afternoon. He wasn't in the contest either. No problem, that makes him #1!

Congrats on the sweep.
I ended up missing 7 counties,
Bea, Crn, Fra, Ful, Hun, Inn, and Phi.
Score was 20,306 with 198 Q's.
I did find the bonus K3SMT twice, 40 & 80m phone.
But, considering I just didn't really care about the QP this year,
and did about 6 hours total (maybe a bit more) It coulda been worse.
My Makrothen Score ended up at 1,729,306
with 312 Q's. Not too shabby.
Now for several days of rest.
Congrats again.
