[ILQSO] 20 meters- a further analysis

[Hank Greeb]

I'll agree with the  AAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHH!

I wouldn't be able to make a 3 day, 600 mile round trip for 2 ILQP's.  :(

But, I had LOTS of fun working SSB, particularly on 75 metres when 4 or 
5 multi county stations ganged up on me within 2 or 3 minutes, and I had 
to write all the calls and locations by hand because I couldn't keep up 
with the logging programme!  CW would get sparse, and I'd run up the 
band to Phone, when I worked it dry, I'd go back to CW.  The only thing 
I missed was NOT setting up the voice keying function in N3FJP's 
software, so my voice was getting ragged toward the end.

If 40 had been shorter, I'm sure this could have happened on 40 also.
