[ADXA] Arkansas QSO party (not even DX)

[Dennis Schaefer]

I've worked a few on CW just to make a showing.  I did 27 minutes and
worked 53 stations on 20M CW.  I quit for lunch when things slowed down.  I
hadn't contested any for a few months and it took awhile to get the logging
program straightened out.  I had ESM turned on and couldn't underdstand why
the program seemed to have a mind of its own.  Not too bad considering that
a couple of months ago, I couldn't sit up to the rig and look at the
computer screen at the same time.  Things are improving and the doc cleared
me to do physical therapy for my neck.

I came back and worked a few more on 20M but no pileup like at the
beginning.  15 was no-go and also 40.  Maybe 40 will pick up later in the
afternoon.  I listened a little on 20M SSB but Arkansas signals were in the
noise.  I think I'll stick with all CW, low power category.  100 would be
OK, but I might go a little past that. Just getting on the air for anything
but a quick DXpedition contact is a win.

73,
