2010 ARRL 10 Meter Contest
The first really 'enjoyable' 10 meter contest in a long time. No pressure, whatsoever.
I had planned for most everything, food, antennas, radio, soft chair, refreshments, paper, pens/pencils, almost everything. Turned off the phone and disconnected the doorbell, too. Only thing I had no part in planning for was the lack of stations on the band. Band was rather 'dead', except for some locals and sparodic bursts. No Europeans, no Canadians. Heard Maine (K1WHS) all weekend.
Overall, had about half the 2009 contacts and multipliers, in about the same time period. With alot of leftover food and 'other' refreshments, no cooking now for a week, we'll survive. Paper work is all made out, just needs a postage stamp. See, no pressure, whatsoever.
