2011 ARRL November Sweepstakes (CW)

11/09/2011 | WD0GTY

Had a great time with Sweepstakes CW again this year.  Being in a rental house, haven't got the best of antennas up but and Buddipole for 10 and 15 and a 20/40 dipole all up only about 12 feet did pretty good.  Missed a sweep by one this year (Puerto Rico).  That is the closest we have ever got.

We did have some excitement during the contest.  About 10:50 CDT, we got rocked by a 5.7 magnitude earthquake.  I know that might not be to big for the California folks but plenty big for me.  Perry, N5PJ said it was kind of tough to copy with the house shaking and me shouting about us having an earthquake.

Hope things settle down earthquake wise for phone portion.

73, Jeff
