[HCRA] HCRA 10 Meter Contest & Score Posting

[Dan Sullivan]

I worked about a half dozen stations from the mobile here in Central PA. Conditions were indeed crappy though I did land SD, FL, AL, MS, LA, and KS pretty readily with a minimal effort (1 call each to work em all) running 100w into the screwdriver antenna on the truck. Then again I think I worked everyone I heard except for 1 extremely weak DX station hanging around 495 or 497. Mighta been a KP4 or NP4 station but he was S0 and fading when I found him. The only states clearly heard and not worked: MD and PA oddly enough. The two were loud which surpises me with MD because I am about an hour from the MD border via the highway. The PA was a local but he scooted away before I got him.

I cannot wait for the "other" sunspot to appear I tell ya. (No I did not try to log and contest while driving in the city today sorry.)

Mike that is not crappy audio, just you calling CQ Moron during a 10m test. ;) HI HI

Make sure your club affil. line looks like "Hampden County Radio Assn".  Association is shortened.  Someone has trouble every year.

I handed out a couple Q's down the CW end (I was trying to get my new keyer configured).  Didn't have much more time than that, unfortunately.  I am still microphone-less; my prosets are launching some absolutely dirty audio and I still have them all pulled apart.

Condx were poor?  On 10?  Rick say it ain't so!
