I am not sure that many people are aware of the ARRL contest soapbox =
located on
the ARRL web site.  It allows you to post your comments along with =
photographs
describing your contest experience.  Rebecca=92s post and photograph of =
her
operating is located at the following link:

My 14 year old daughter Rebecca KB0VVT and I, really performed much =
better this
year than in our first full effort attempt in CW SS last year.  Rebecca =
was very
enthusiastic about operating during this contest.  She wanted to work =
1500
people.  I thought a more realistic goal was 1000 QSOs given last years =
results
for the mid west section along with the use of low power and our =
antennas.

Rebecca spent the most time running the frequencies and made the =
majority of the
QSOs.  She really likes cw contesting and is getting pretty good at it.  =
She was
able to do her Algebra, Civics, and English homework and run a frequency =
at the
same time late Sunday afternoon.  I would have taken over for her but =
she wanted
stay on the radio.

We really wanted to be able to keep up with our friend Steve K0OU who =
only lives
about 2 blocks away and was running high power by himself during the =
contest.=20
Steve was one of the main people that got us into contesting.  Sometimes =
I
wonder if he wishes he never got us involved since we are so close.  =
Amazingly,
we did not interfere with each other near as much as last year.  We were =
more
self conscience of each other this year and tried not to run a frequency =
right
in the middle of a given band.  This gave us more of an opportunity to =
exist
together on the same band.  Iron man Steve managed to edge us out again.

We used a lot of time trying to get the NF multiplier on Sunday =
afternoon.  I
was beginning to think we were not going to get the sweep this year.  =
Thank you
VO1MP !!!!  A full gallon would have definitely helped in that pileup.

My wife Barbara KG0UT, Rebecca and I our planning on doing SS phone =
using
Barbara=92s callsign.

Thanks for all the QSOs!

Dave, KG0US
