I was missing 3 Friday night. I planned to work the rest Sunday, but my guests never left.

I worked a few of them Friday morning, but conditions sucked. Got up early Saturday morning & conditions weren't any better. I quit after 15 minutes. Come on next solar cycle, daddy needs some DX!

I got a very late start and managed to work 10 of them in about an hour.

Mainly 40 meters.

i felt embarrassed to be a ham on the air at that point. then there was someone on their tracking page bitching about WARC bands being used and how they werent supposed to. he didnt understand that it was a special event station and not a contest but saying the organizers should read the amateur radio rules.
