[NLRS] W0JT, SOLP, August UHF Contest

[tosca005 at umn.edu]

As Bill (K0AWU) already mentioned, it was very slow going for most of the 
contest. And of course, thanks to Murphy, it got so fast during the last 10 
minutes of the contest that I missed the chance for 5 QSO's on 902 MHz when 
I failed to tail-end on W0GHZ with Mel (KC0P/r) and his family. That would 
have bought me almost 700 more points! Oh well, that's how it goes 
sometimes. Haste makes waste. You gotta listen for tail-enders! (Sob, sob). 
Zero contacts with any of the rovers all day Saturday. Worked 5 different 
rovers on Sunday, for a total of 24 QSO's (exactly half of the total number 
of QSO's) and 5 unique band-grid combinations, so they contributed a whole 
lot to the score in spite of being hard for me to hook up with.
