Tom,
Nice to work you Saturday. I did hear you on 20 in the afternoon and
you were quite loud, but we were both doing S and P and didn't cross
paths otherwise.
I also found 10 and 15 to be a disappointment, but did manage 18 QSO'S
on 160.
finished with 358 QSO's, 131 mults, and score of 46,898.
Hope to play some in next week's 160 contest.
73, Steve KW3A
