[PaQSO] The Battle for CAR

[k3pp at k3pp.com]

Thanks Larry!
 
I did manage to avoid lighting up the trees this year! That's a good thing, I
guess! I'm sure my XYL and neighbors see it that way! HI!
 
Yep, I missed the CAR trophy by one crummy QSO!! That's not how things are
supposed to work up here on "Bunny Hill." I congratulate you, Goody, but you do
realize this means I'm going to go harder next year to prevent a three-peat. You
won 2009 and 2010 fair and square, but I can't allow another defeat in 2011.
Seriously, what you do with QRP is remarkable. Kudos to you!!
 
I have the hardware for a serious SO2R effort. I need to train my brain to take
advantage of that hardware! If I can ever figure that out, I'll be dangerous.
Like anything else, you need time to practice and therein lies my Achilles Heel.
I need to look toward retirement so I can focus on the important things in life,
like radio and contesting! I'll get that practice and finally figure out SO2R
just in time to be eclipsed by the next cool innovation! :-)
 
I hope to post my detailed PA QSO Party summary and analysis on k3pp.com soon.
I'll announce to the reflector when it's up.
 
Thanks everyone for a wonderful contest! PA QSO Party is my favorite because all
of you make it so uniquely enjoyable!
