[ADXA] ARRL International DX Contest - CW

[BRUCE PLANTZ]

I had a good time in DX test.  I never could get a good run going, so was limited to S&P.  Heard ZN running on 20 and on 80 heard WA5SOG working folks I couldn't hear.  Really didn't hear much on 80, but everywhere else worked pretty much anyone I could hear.  It was a good test of the new TS-890.  I had fun, and that's all that matters.  Early in the contest I noticed several guys coming back to double-check my call after I'd sent AR.  That never happened when contesting from that rare state of IL.  As a teen I started contesting from NE and just assumed everyone called CQ and immediately had a pileup.  It took me a while to realize what was going on.  Then I started going to a buddy's shack in WY.  Fun times.  K9OZ
