[TVARC] ARRL 10 K2DM SO CW HP

[k2dm at comcast.net]

Here is my score from the ARRL 10M Contest this weekend.
I started when the contest began at 7PM Friday and operated until about
12:30AM Saturday.
Then I cat-napped for 45-60 minutes at a time, getting up to check the band
for any surprise overnight openings.
There were none, so all I served to do was keep myself from getting a good
solid sleep!
I got back on around 7AM Saturday, and the band soon opened up to Europe.
For the next few hours I worked a lot
of European stations mixed in with a number of US and Canada stations.
Things started to slow down, and I was slowing
down too, so I pulled the switch around 2:30PM.  I had only planned to
operate Saturday, and Ray, ND8L was going to
operate Sunday.
Congratulations to all members of TVARC who got on in the contest, whether
you made a big score or a little score.
Next year we will have to all use the on-line, real-time score tracker to
see how we are all doing.  I enjoyed using it to track
K2PS and ND4G this year.

73,

It was fun watching propagation shift around.  For a while there was a
stream of MN, CO and IA stations.  Then was the string
Of IL, IN, WI, OH and MI stations.  And so on.
