Now that I had a chance to enter stuff in a logging program(N1MM fought me
so I had to paper log, of course I got it working fine today.)

Total points 29,512.

 

Due to my back issues( I cannot sit for a long time) I probably operated 14
hours total so not too bad. The thunderstorm last night killed my chances of
hearing the tail end Twin Cities operators who always pop up the last 2
hours and having to crank the tower down due to winds gusting past 50mph
didn't help on 2 meters.  I had a steady weak opening down towards Chicago
but no takers. WD9BGA/b EN52 beacon was S5 most of the day Saturday. Fun to
get back into contesting, especially with people spread out so much. Had
very little qrm and people seemed to wait turns on 144.200 for the most
part. For about 20 minutes Sunday afternoon I was running 4 qso's per
minute!

 

My only gripe: if you are calling CQ or calling a station announce your
grid!!! My 2m beamwidth is about 15 degrees max so a weak station off the
side makes it impossible for me to know where to turn without looking them
up. As busy as 6m was I wasn't taking the time to do that!
