[TVARC] ARRL 10 meter ND4G SO Mixed HP

[Rich Erlichman]

Here is my offerings to the club effort for the 10m contest.
I got a chuckle out of George's comment about tracking Pete and I. I am 
humbled that George put me into the same category of Pete.
I started late at 7:30 Friday, and shut down after about 2 hours 
thinking the band was dead for the nite. Got some sleep, and woke up at 
7:30AM and was told by the XYL that I was NOT going to have the full 
day. Being on standby and operating as much as I could, I put in several 
hours but had to shut down at about 6PM Saturday evening. Got another 
good nite's sleep, and again woke at 7:30AM Sunday, and except for a 3 
hour break to watch a football game at 1PM, I was going for broke. It 
sounded like the band was done a half hour before 7PM.

Looking at (and also tracking) the scores during the weekend on 
Contestonline was interesting. Kudos to Rusty, Pete, and Ray (late 
starter) as their scores were astronomical. Yeah, George did pretty 
good, too, for a less than a weekend's effort. Hey, I got more than half 
of the QSO's that George got, so I feel pretty good about that.

As for conditions; they couldn't have been better. I saw virtual 
pipelines from here to Cali, and Colorado at times. I made the mistake 
that I was watching for multipliers, and passed on what seems to be a 
gazillion more Qs, thinking "uggh, another CA", or "uggh, another CO".

73,
