[CVCC] CQWW CW - W4PM

[Ronnie Bolton]

Way to go Puck!
I fired things up Friday evening on 40 and found my antenna not working on any band.  Got outside Saturday and found the loose feedline connection.  Then went to check my 160 Inv -L to use it later and get ready for the ARRL 160 and found a tree limb had snapped it in half.  Over the last 5 years it's been up, the trees under it have grown significantly and involved it.  Now way to get a wire past them anymore. Sadly I had to just take it down the rest of the way.  Now have my doubts on working the 160 in Dec from here.  Arrgh.  Trees.

I didn't play much.  Made 38Qs across 15, 20, & 40.

I missed not having W4MYA beat me out in pileups!  I heard Kyle in there as well as Henry, N4HB, and they filled Bob's shoes when we went head to head!I've not spent this much time in a contest in a long time ,at least not from my home station.  This CW contest was SO much more fun than the SSB version!
