[50mhz] On the air from EL28 this past weekend.

[K5GZR]

Dan (K3ZXL),
Glad we were able to QSO from EL28, even if it was before the contest. 
Several operators said they saw my note on this reflector and were watching 
for me.  If I do this again, I'll pick a frequency above 50.2 and hope for 
less QRM (and less having to move because there are 3 or 4 stations all 
calling CQ on the same freq, and they can't hear each other!)  Operated the 
contest from the start until 20:00 Z on Sunday with 6 hours off Saturday 
night for sleep.  (Sleep?  There's no Sleep in Contest.  - grin.)  Had 500 
contacts in 150 grids.  I've uploaded the before-contest QSOs (about 110 of 
them) to LoTW, and have 15 QSLs so far.   Still checking the contest logs 
and will upload those contacts later this week.    And I'll mail a QSL back 
to anyone who sends a QSL for any of this weekend's contacts.
