A sincere congrats to you on a great contest effort, Lloyd!
Also, even though it didn't get either of us any points, I enjoyed working
you last night on 40 meters.
I had just fixed the configuration problem with my logging software, and was
testing things out by calling CQ to be sure everything was working as it
should.

I found him toward the end of the contest.
In 24 hours, 45 minutes of operation I made about 1,595 QSO's, a personal
record for me in any contest at any time. The high bands were especially
good, and although the geomagnetic storm at the beginning of February 16
shook things up a lot, it didn't kill propagation to the north as it
sometimes does.I don't expect to find conditions like that for a long time.

HI3LFE is on 28.032 right now. He is pounding into Mississippi, and says he
is running 12 watts.
Go get him!
I think I have just about thrown in the towel at 328 contacts. I have pretty
much worked everything I can hear.
