I did not expect this kind of turnout but it is heartening. The bands
seemed to be favorable this evening. Working between the contesters was
problematic at times but Tom, N0SS, and I did it. I failed to ask for a
serial number however so N7AF is logged without his due. I know we got
the particulars but they are not in my notes. Sorry Dave, we will get
this worked out I'm sure. Thanks for putting Arizona back on the map! We
had great geographical spread. QSB, QRN, and QRM were constant but both
20 and 40 meters netted good totals. Two Alaskan stations checked in from
Palmer and Anchorage. They seem to have a pipeline into Oregon as does
Ray with his KX1 from Virginia. Those KX1s do yoeman duty. But then the
K1s held up their end too from Ontario and New York. The rest of us make
do with our K2s ;)

As always, if there are any errors in the above reports please send me the
corrections and they will be posted and logged. Next week brave Karl
(N7NLU) will take me under his wing and teach me the ropes of QRP
contesting. Hopefully I will not fail too badly. We shall be working
from a local rail line (extinct that is) for a QRP to the field contest.
He is going to show me how a K1 works and I'll bring along another rig to
use. Should be fun because we do have a shelter from the outrages Oregon
weather may throw at us. Please listen for us on Saturday and give us a
holler if you want. Then I shall be QRV on the normal frequencies at the
usual times for the Elecraft CW Net the next day.
Hope to hear you all then.
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
