Just finished up with K8BBM to put WY in the log and earn WAS QRP CW!

Next goal is WAC, then DXCC.

Congratulations! and fine business. Perhaps we'll run across each other
in a contest someday.

If you contest then how come I ain't never worked ya? Or should I say,
which ones do you enter regular? I'll look for you.

I was wondering the same but it's just coincidence I guess. However, I'm
just a casual operator often stopping at a couple of dozen contacts.
Sometimes I and the OM use his callsign (K8BSG) instead of mine so he can
count some of the DX towards his DXCC instead of mine. He's a General and
I'm an Extra.

What contests do I work? Well I like Sweepstakes, State QSO parties, and
the DX contests. If you are one of the very fast CW ops, I probably passed
you by. For ragchewing, I'm only reliable at 15wpm although somehow I
managed to pass my 20. In contests, I can do 20 to 25 for the limited
exchange but generally have to listen several times through before trying
the station to be sure I have it right. So I stick to seek and pounce.

The most contacts I ever made in a contest was 384. It happened to be the
Feb 2004 ARRL International DX contest on CW.

I did hear you calling CQ one day within the last few months and an African
station came back to you if I remember correctly. So I went on by.

Looking at my log, I've only worked 16 stations in Alabama.
