Hi guys,
This one was more enjoyable than DMC as the time of the day I started (after 2200Z), the signals were stronger even if it was only 100W max and also conditions with USA were better than EU anyway. I had to leave several times the contest and also a thunderstorm forced me to quit for at least one hour to one hour and a half. 20m and 40m were good but a lot of crash on 80m and not very good signals kept me from having more stations worked on that band (also my antenna is a cloud burner especially on this band). Some funny names or nicknames I think: Outlaw, Bambi, Rex and Bub! Finally at one time, I was a little annoyed and someone send me his exchange but it taked me at least 2 sec to realize it was its exchange: REED ID, so I thought he was telling me with a mistype READ ID, for: read your ID. So I asked to me, read what ID? But it was REED from Idaho. I think only me can think of that hihi. After the thunderstorm, I continued to the end at 0600Z.
