[HCRA] 20m SSB Station

[Jim - KK1W]

It seems they were ready last year too.

More operators, no equipment problems, voice instead of CW, the list goes on
and on.

But...

Somehow, when 2:00 PM Sunday rolled around, the 20 SSB score didn't quite
equal the old farts in the 40 CW station. Oh, and those old farts numbered
two, not twelve or so. And one of them is known for 'chit chatting' and
walking around.

What exactly did go wrong at the 20 SSB station?

2009 just means another repeat of last year's ass kicking.

'73...

One of the 'old farts'
