    We are half way through the NAPQ got a single op station.

    Doing okay. So far on goal to do at least as well as last year with 12,012 points.

    118 QSOs, with 56 multipliers. With a total score of 6.328 points, but I am worried that 40m will not perform this evening.

    In high spirits though on the higher bands.

    Surprised that the contest seems to be doing as well as it is, considering the solar forcast is rather week.

    LOL. I typo'd the score from last year!!

    It was supposed to be a , instead of a decimal.. LOL, one could do 6.something Q's in their sleep!

    Positively ROCKED it with over 19,000 points!

    I am sure I made some errors which will knock it down a bit, but keeping my fingers crossed for a good placing in the call district!
