2012 ARRL November Sweepstakes (CW)
This was a normal CW Sweepstakes weekend -- the same weekend our neighborhood holds its biggest annual event, the Oyster Roast. This seems to be a mandatory event (ask my wife), so as much as I love the CW SS, it takes a back seat. Nonetheless, I made over 200 QSOs and had plenty of fun. There is always something new to learn about operating, and this year there is a new setup in my shack to shake things up. Instead of the old TS940, now sold, I gave my K2 a workout with a new laptop and N1MM for logging. At the end of the weekend, I have a new appreciation for all of them. Some things stay the same. My wire antenna has never worked well to the north, and now that there are more Canadian multipliers, I'm that much further from a clean sweep. Something needs to be done!
