    Listening to HC1JQ on 14.349 working US ops that seem to have no clue where the band edge is. This problem would be eliminated in short order if the contest organizers just noted every call they heard op OOB and DQ'ed them.
    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.

    I getting some decent stations now. My best catch of the day was right after that last post. I tuned across an empty 15 cw band and heard a pileup on 5T5BV, Mauritius. There was a lull and i dropped my call and got him. New band country for me.


    I can feel good going to work now. :)

    Where's Dave Popkin and his infamous Popkingrams when you need them?

    I've got 90 Q's in today. Didn't bother last night (too tired), and just spent a little time on this morning & afternoon. 50 of those Q's are on 10, 25 on 15, 15 on 20. Just got back in the shack, not hearing anything on 160, and EU isn't hearing me barefoot on 40. I don't expect much on 75 except some Caribbean and Central/South Americans. So it goes.

    But when I was operating earlier at least, I had fun!!

    I'll get back into it tomorrow. I'm just too tired. I went to bed about 1:30 Friday night and the dog got me up around 6:00 Saturday morning. I haven't been able to focus on anything today.

    The good part was bagging the 2 VKs and the KH6 on 40m SSB with just the 100 watts. The bad part is it's only 9:40 and I can barely keep my eyes open.

    I'm going to be lucky to break 100 Qs at this point. Too much time spent trying to keep gutters clear and other preparations to be made in anticipation of Sandy's arrival.

    Still a few choice DXCC entities to be had, like AH0BT on 15M. I think that's an ATNO for me.

    Amazingly, he's not that busy. It's like nobody knows he's there.

    Yes, 100 watts, but on the 4-element 15m beam.

    We now return your bands to their usual "crickets chirping" conditions.

    Nice catch!

    I picked up a few more towards DDXCC (I didn't do much on it over the summer), plus P29NI on 12 late this afternoon. I now stand at 99... one more to go!

    I ended up with 120 Q's, 60 on 10 meters, 35 on 15, 25 on 20. Obviously I wasn't trying too hard! The vertical is set for CW on 80 & 40, so it doesn't play too well on the phone side -- and the wire wasn't loading correctly for some reason, so I just stayed on the high bands.

    Dig up and reanimate him, then equip Dave with a box-load of the following...suitably modified to include the verbiage "shared spectrum" and "first come, first served". His targets of interest are the MMSN whiners:
