The best laid plans of mice and men don’t always work out.  Before
returning to Florida this Fall, I reserved some weekends for contesting to
give my newly installed flagpole antenna a chance to play a bit.  But this
weekend was disrupted by my 18 month old grandson’s visit.  The challenge
was that the blacked out bedroom that he used for sleeping is also the room
where the shack is located.  So I had to work around that to have some
fun.

Note:  Before the contest, I read posts from my contest club in Minnesota
about 50 MPH winds and a snowstorm swooping into Central MN causing guys to
retract their towers and using caution when rotating their beams.  I kinda
chuckled as I sat in my operating chair wearing shorts, flipflops and a tee
shirt…poor guys up north.  I also had no worries when rotating my flagpole
antenna.

Heard a number of fellow TVARC ops participating in the fray with good
success.  I felt that condx were good except that 10 meters was a struggle
and lacked consistency.  Looking forward to more contests in the next few
years with improving solar conditions.  Also, gotta get my flagpole to load
on 80 as a priority for next year (no room for another antenna on my
property).
