Just a note. Thought this was a good place to post it. If y'all are trying to get a hold of me and do not get a quick answer, it's because of a special ham radio thing I will be involved in from today at 6pm for a week. I will try to look in when I can. I have some other necessary interruptions scheduled also. But I may be barely awake, just moving on the amount of coffee in my system, and suffering from lack of sleep.
We did this in June also. Every state gets to use the national association's callsign portable for a week. So for a week I will be using W1AW/9 and making as many contacts as possible. I put in 70 hours in June, made nearly 3,000 contacts on radio teletype. As a group of 59 operators I think, we made around 61,000 contacts.
And my coffeepot spit fire and died on the counter this morning. So I am off to get a new one. I had to boil water on the stove and poured it though the filter basket into the pot. The whole time I was sneering at Cathy's Keurig across the room.
Ho ho Ho! :santa: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer:
