Lou:
Who wouldn't be nervous doing W1AW!!
I remember I was a bit shaky at the beginning of my stint too, but once I
got into it after the first five minutes or so, I was fine.
I'm curious: How did you log your contacts? Did you use N3FJP A C Log?
I also had my XYL, Sue, log for me, because I simply didn't want to get hung
up somewhere in the process when the pileup got too big.
I suppose now I could do it on my own, but it is still nice to have a
logger, which I understand many sighted W1AW operators had as well.
P.S. You were a solid 589 here into Central Lower Michigan with my Cobra
Ultra-lite Senior antenna.

Thanks for the info, Tom. Well, it probably wouldn't be completely legal to
send him the BARd files since I don't think he is a participant, although he
could be. He's legally blind. Yeah, it sure was a hoot to work you, KW3A,
W3IUU and WA9TOP and I'll have to look through the log to see who i missed.
I was extremely nervous but calmed down as I got into it. Kath logged for
me. And yes, its a shame it's about over. I'd like to do it again. 73. lou
