01/21/2008 | KA5BOU The bands were dismal. Thanks goodness for the rovers! N5AC/R and WD0ACD/R at least made things interesting as I kept track of them from grid-to-grid and worked them on as many bands as we could make work. Hats off to both for braving the unusually cold weather we had in Texas this weekend!

Last September, I did something I swore I would never do - make changes to the station at the last minute. The night before the contest, I converted everything to a 28 MHz IF. This contest, I made last minute changes again, converting from an IC-756 Pro III for the IF to a SDR-1000. Wow, what a difference! Looking forward to what last minute change I can come up with for June :-)

Again, thanks to all for sticking it out in spite of conditions. -- KA5BOU
