Sounds like a blast brother. Congrats. I look forward to the pixs. I bagged them I think either on 80 or 40. I think doing a 160m contest from there would be lots of fun.

It was a big blast 🙂 Working from this station was an incredible experience. Contesting will never be the same after this. I checked the log, you were logged on 20M according to what I could find. I didn’t work much 160M this weekend, but I bet the CQ 160M contests would be great from this qth with big antennas and a very quiet qth. Regarding pictures, I’ll try to get around to it this weekend. Time just flies too fast these days.

You need a break from the cold weather. You should gun for a trip to CR2X next. I didn’t put a big effort forth in the contest as the XYL had me running all over the place. I managed to do a little over 400 QSOs and didn’t call CQ once. A bad day on the bands beats a good day in the office.

Yeah, we have had enough cold weather this winter and plenty of snow. CR2X would sure be great, who knows, maybe in the future. Luckily, we’re slowly heading towards summer and longer days.
