It was nice to have a good opening coincide with the contest. When I saw the post from Joel saying the band was already open to EU at 8:00 AM local, I jumped in.  That was nice - like 1980 coming back.  Well, not quite but getting there.

Also, in my 55+ years of ham radio before moving up to NWA I never got around to putting in for a plain WAS, much less 5BWAS.  And after moving, I found that I’d been reset to zero.  So that make me want to chase band-states a bit. I’m looking OK except for 15 and especially 10, which I rarely get on.  So it was nice to get some states. Sometimes the close-in ones are tough on ten so I was glad to get border states OK, TN and LA. 

Yesterday I got my first new entity in ages, on 15 CW: 3D2AG/P.  Trying to figure out how to QSL. I gather he’s using paper logs and wants PayPal. Doesn’t say how much. I presume I’d PayPal with a message giving my call, time/date/frequency and mode?

NICE CAR.
Maine was the last state for 10 meter W.A.S. MS was the other one I just recently got.
I added one toward ten meter DXCC. I still need six. I'll get two of those next month When Bouvet & Crozet operate on 10 meters.

Jon:

Which was the last state for 10M WAS?  I loved having that last state for WAS honor in Vermont!

 

QSL 1983 Avanti I bought in 1984: the year I met Joel who was on a job at Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant

 

I had a casual contest operation on 10M SSB trying to get DXCC on that band.  Worked 24 countries and of those which confirmed, I’ve added only one band counter!  Hung up at 93 on 10M and 97 on 40M for the moment toward 5BDXCC.

I heard from Didier, TX7G, that with along my 3Y0PI card from 1994 to be Field Checked, my #331 QSL, Marquesas Island, has been mailed.  See you soon Roger!

Last time I uploaded a log it caused ADXA to go DOWN in the rankings.

Nonetheless, I'll keep uploading logs until someone tells me to stop.

I watched old movies on TV & operated S&P during the commercials.

I needed one state for WAS on ten. My goal was that one state. I got them twice.

Speaking of WAS, I wonder if Brazil has a WAS. I probably have all the Brazil states.

I had a BLAST. I love this Hobby.
