12/04/2017 | n4qwz 2017 Contest will always be memorable for me, As I was dozing off Callin CQ  I looked on the screen saw NH6Y answer my CQ, this got my adrenaline going ! I was saying to myself pse let me get this contact in the LOG and I DID, I had worked 42 states Terresterial without EME& Digi I realized getting 6more States was possible but  I would neve work AK & HI unless I added EME to my Station, so I did add EME station in APril 2016 now I have  WAS Certificate #209 took me 25years to achieve this Award, I should have added EME to my station 10years ago, I have small station 2x8xp adding V&H pol was the best move I had made since being on EME, I use no LNA , Rig is Flex5000VU works fantastic without LNA.  Now my Goal is to add DXCC soon to my Goal, I currently have 72 DXCC   I  worked some new Initials & Grids in the Contest  Thanks to all that participated ! Look foward to 2018 Contest  73 Todd "N4QWZ"   -- N4QWZ
