[K6BW] Fwd: CaQP K6BW(N2NL) Single Op LP

[David Mueller]

Hi Guys,  I've copied my California QSO Party results
below.  I made just under 400 QSOs in just about 6
hours of operation.  20M was the best band, although
many of the signals were weak.  80 was kicking butt in
the early evening, with many QSOs across the country,
including VY1JA in the Yukon, VE9DX in New Brunswick,
and several other east coast stations.  A few DX
stations called me on 20M in the late morning,
including a couple JA's, DL, EA, and S5.  

The climbing harness I ordered should be delivered any
day, and I hope to start putting up antennas shorthly
thereafter.  My next (serious) contest operation will
be the November Sweepstakes, CW, on the 1st weekend in
November.  I'm planning a full 24 hour effort with a
goal of taking the SF Section record and possibly
placing in the top 10, overall.

73, Dave N2NL
