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:
