I have over 100 contacts from today's effort, including quite a few
from NA, and a few all time new ones. Not bad when you consider I am
just casually S&Ping, using 5W to an MFJ magnetic loop in the attic,
and since 15m is dead I've only got 20 and 40 to play with. I'm never
going to win anything with my station but I just love CQ WW CW!

Just need to put in a few extra hours tomorrow to do the 12 hours
minimum required to submit a log.

Yes there are a few clicky stations (not all from your side, either.)
I had my K2 narrowed down as far as it would go and wishing I had my
K3...
