[TVARC] ARRL 10 Meter Contest

[Jerome H. Whelan]

I want to thank you guys so much for talking up enthusiastically the ten 
meter contest! My wife (also a ham) and I moved to the Villages more 
than a year ago and my procrastination prevented me from raising an 
antenna. Well, at the most recent QCWA meeting I got some useful ideas 
and rigged a dipole in the atttic over the garage, co-opting a 
pre-existing RG-6 that runs from my shack to the garage area. On the air 
again!

I have never been a big contester, but I enjoyed to operating again, 
used N1MM, decoded the Morse using my meat-based decoder (many operators 
out there are pretty fast!)  Surprisingly, I got more answers to my CW 
than on phone. Here's the N1MM score for AB3SX:
