2017 ARRL International DX Contest (CW)

02/21/2017 | K8MR

I operated the ARRL DX CW contest from a waterfront parking area on Sarasota Bay. I've operated from this place in several previous contests, and antennas in salt water do work well.

I had an additional unique experience this weekend. When I pulled into the site for my Sunday morning operating session, next to my parking spot was a group of guys standing around a shiny motorcycle parked right at the edge of the water. They didn't quite look like what one might expect of bikers, but anyway. Plus there was a thin young lady, well endowed, dressed in a skimpy top, short shorts, and shiny black high heels.

Turns out they were doing an advertising photo shoot for Yamaha motorcycles. For the next two hours I enjoyed being distracted by this woman, later in a very brief swimsuit, as she posed in all sorts of positions with that motorcycle.

Oh, and the DX wasn't bad either.
