Fun contest!
|
KB3FN |
Boy the bands were sucky. |
VE3KI |
Managed a total of 9 contacts in about 3/4 hour of operating.
No new member numbers for LONP for me - maybe in the MIDXA DeathMatch
in a couple of weeks, weather permitting. |
VA7PX |
I wasn't able to log very many contacts. |
N7QU |
Considering the band conditions it was lots of fun. |
KD4SM |
Band conditions were extremely bad. I had a European station on 7070 LSB for the entire time Saturday night. Maybe I'll have more time and we'll all have better band conditions the next time around. |
KK3Q |
Thanks for a great time. |
K5PAX |
WooHoo!! |
W6QE |
Another great member celebration! In spite of the poor band conditions it was nice to work some new members and visit with some old friends. I missed the last 5 hours of the celebration due to a holiday party. |
K8IJ |
Had a weekend filled with family Christmas parties, but got on the air to celebrate with y'all as much as I could. Thanks and Happy Holidays to all! |
KT4NM |
Wish I could have done more but Workday on Sunday and then the NFL. |
N2GWK |
Here is my tiny score for the 800 Celebration. I still had fun though. I think we need a 1000 Blowout in the planning stages. I Can See it Now ! PODXS070 Millenium Bash. Maybe we ought to have a membership drive and award a Top Dawg for the most new member referrals as well as an Endorsement for 5, 10, etc Referrals. And maybe even a special for the member who refers and signs up Number #1000. Whatcha think? |
KI4CBF |
Poor band conditions but great fellow Hams! Hope to see more of you in the near future. Also, thanks to everyone who put this little celebration on – you are appreciated! |
N7GVV |
What lousy band conditions. Too many conflicts on Sunday to spend much time on the radio. |
KU1T |
I enjoyed the fun. |
| WB4MNK | I enjoyed the get together on the air and picked up a few new numbers. Wish I could have spent more time but had to work Sunday. I felt we did pretty good with the poor band conditions and the time available. I always look forward to PSK contests with the 070 club members. |
N8MNI |
Wish I would had more time to work. Maybe next contest. |
KC4ART |
I didn't get to work much, but gave it an effort. |
WT6X |
Only had a chance to work 20m for about 45 minutes. |
N6PCD |
Fun contest! A good time was had by all. Didn't get to make many QSO's due to time constrains. I hope to have more time to spend on the radio next time. 73 ES DX! |
W7PSK |
I never seem to get to operate tests any more + lousy band condix = a not so worthy log. |
AI4OF |
It was a fun event. I didn't have a lot of time for it, but the bands seemed good at the times I was running. And pretty much every signal on the band that came from this contest was pristine in quality, which is nice to see. |
KC2GIK |
It was a fun time despite the poor band conditions and my limited time behind the radio. |
VK3AMA |
Not enough members in VK and zero VK/ZL activity on 80M or 160M PSK. My
New Year's resolution is to actively encourage VK/ZL ops to join the Club. |
