> LOWS:
> Conditions were awful on the high bands. My usual tactic of running Europeans
> on the high bands never really materialized. There goes about 300 QSOs. The
> trick to doing well in the PA QSO Party is to do as much CW as possible. The
> giant scores are always heavily biased to CW. I tried more CW, but I'm pretty
> slow. My apologies to those who had to tolerate my low rate and frequent
> repeats. My new 75m dipole is too close to the house. The RF flooded the shack
> and kept locking up the computer, so I had to turn the power way down and
> suffered there.

> HIGHS:
> This is still the VERY BEST contest of them all! My fellow contestants are
> friendly (and friends!)! Despite my CW woes, I felt I did much better this
> time. With more time to work on my skills, I'll be there soon. My station
> worked well and put out a generally loud signal! I was afraid nobody would get
> the county sweep, but those mobiles and rovers saved the day for a bunch of us!
> I made the sweep, with KA3EEO in SUS at 1915z Sunday for my final one!! I got 10
> QSOs with the W3SC bonus station, FOUR on 2 meter FM! W3SC/M drove thru LEH,
> NHA, CAR, and then SCH, all within earshot of my QTH! I LOVE THIS STUFF AND I
> LOVE ALL OF YOU WHO MAKE THIS SUCH A WONDERFUL EVENT!!
> 
> Goody K3NG whooped me handily again! You deserve the CAR crown, Goody! You are
> an amazing QRP operator! Oh, and Larry N3CR, your granddaughter's rain dance
> didn't work!! Goody's solar cells kept him going strong to the end! You gotta
> work with that kid some more for next year!
