Hi all.
Made 434 qso's, including dups. My best was from NY in a 10m contest (S&P-cw).
So, I feel pretty good. Can't compete with Pete or Rusky, or anyone else for that matter, but I had fun, and my butt is still sore (BIC).
Contest: FL QSOPARTY
 Band     QSOs     Pts  Mul  Pt/Q
     7      79     312    5   3.9
    14     200     780   29   3.9
    21     140     560   22   4.0
 Total     419    1652   56   3.9
Score: 92,512
1 Mult = 7.5 Q's

Heard Pete and Rusty on the air. Bob, K3ZGA worked me twice. Rusty called me at 100wpm (hi), but his call is short, so I got it on the first try.

Can't understand a lot of the dups. I had guys call me 1.5 hours after our original qso's. Wonder if their dup checking didn't work!!

Was a bit confused whether to send just WB2ART as I did last year (341 q's) or send WB2ART/SUM. I used WB2ART/SUM on Saturday, with 296 q's. Sunday, I left off the /SUM, until I heard Rusty sending W3US/SUM, so figured he must know better than I do.....
All in all, a great time. Looking forward to next year, and maybe I will send faster than 18wpm (although many did not even slow down, which was ok).
