It was pleasant days and a chilly night

Froze me butt off I did even before sundown too. Better than the
alternative though.

Boy it was cold ...went down to 45 here and the 2 sweatshirts didn't cut it.
Went out in the parking lot at sunrise to sort of regain some heat
.....reptillian ????

That's hideous. In PA? You guys were at 5,000 feet on some uncharted
mountaintop in WPA or what?

Pure 1960 contesting. Whatta pair of Luddites we is . .

Imagine if we'd actually read the FT-847 manual.....

And ya saw my SSB rate....

Yeah, now your goal for next year is 400 phone Qs.

No thanks.

I'll help you uncurl from your fetal position after it's over.

No sweat. Working 6 meter sidbanders with an AM only rig was more of a
challenge.

Didja like my QSK/CQ trick?

It's older 'n dirt, don't do it in real contests.

It was right for the situation. Saved time and raised both rates.

Figger a demonstrated 40 per hour station potential here and we gwan
go after you guys for *serious* next year so heads up Heil.

lessee...computer, some minor antenna work, a few odds'n'ends.....

Did anybody around here work Burke?

Burke who?

Thought so. Based on other threads around here he apparently spent the
weekend working the Put . . ah, never mind . .

'zactly.

CW SS is only four months away....

Seemed like it ..all the guys said they never been that cold before for this
time of year .... The wx on the TV said 50 but the one in my car said 45
degrees .... I like to get 2 hours of sleep that night so I don't feel
spacey the next day and I got about an hour before the port-a-john called
....oh well the thrill of FD. I did have a heck of a good time though ...
