Lloyd:

As I think I said in my earlier post about my N A Q P effort, I heard you
doing S and P, a few minutes before I worked Mike in Mississippi.

Your signal really wasn't that bad--I'd say about a 579 on 40 meters around
8 or 9 p.m.

In line with what Mike said earlier, I also like the N A Q P, because the
playing field is more equal than is the case in many contests, since
everyone is limited to 100 watts.

        Great stuff!  My 40 dipole doesn't work very well.  80, 20, 15 and
10 are the bands where I have real antennas.  Your signal wasn't very
strong, but copiable enough, and thanks for Mississippi.  I worked N4OGW on
a band or two.  Didn't happen to hear Tom.  Also worked Bill, K4LTA, a blind
contester from Tennesssee.  All QSOs were logged using N1MM Logger Plus beta
AND Window-Eyes 8.4.
I had 284 QSOs and 110 multipliers, for a score of 31,240 in 4 hours, 23
minutes.  I haven't put this much effort into an NAQP for a long time.  I
can remember when they were CD QSO parties, limited to ARRL appointees.

Lloyd,

It was good to work you on 40 last night.

You had a good signal down here, as did Tom a few contacts after you.

Since Kathleen had to get up at 4 AM to go to work today, I threw in the
towel at 10:45 PM my time.

My total is 301 contacts, with a point total of just over 39 thousand.

I made 101 contacts on 40 meters, which was my best band as far as the
number of contacts.

My other highlights include working KI1U on all bands accept for 80 meters,
getting Idaho on 3 bands, Alaska on 20, Hawaii on 15, and Alabama on 10
meters.

And, in the "that really takes talent" department, I did not work my own
state.

I also heard Dave, W7OQ, from the list, but we were both in hunt and pounce
mode at the time, so I was not able to work him.

This one is probably my favorite contest. It doesn't kill an entire weekend,
and the playing field is as level as possible, with the only edge going to
someone with a better antenna.
