[PVRCNC] Whacky FD antics

OK, maybe not so whacky...

I had disabled my CW hand (right one) by attempting to amputate the 
thumb on Wednesday, which caused me to abort the FD in DC plan I had 
with my daughter Sarah, KM4WHL.  As a result I gave up being able to 
participate in FD at all...but wait!  If I rotate the paddles 90° CCW I 
can move my arm to make the thumb hit the thumb paddle!   Hey!  I are an 
enjuneer!

Still, it was (and is) painful to move the hand so I limited myself to 
100 Qs per band and took long breaks with pain killers, and although the 
bands and participation were great and if not infirm I could have done 
thousands...I worked a bunch of y'all including the Corn Crib at least 
once and Nate on I think 6 bands!  15m was strong, even the 10m opening 
was awesome...if only more people had checked to find out; it was 
nationwide from my QTH!

I apologize for the mutilated CW I sent, please for give me... I 
actually have a valid excuse this time!  I look forward to seeing 
everyone at a meeting sometime soon...
