    2002: 1435 QSOs
    2003: 635 QSOs
    2004: 331 QSOs

    I thought conditions LAST year were bad. Dang, this was nasty!

    After being disinterested in contesting for many years, I finally succumbed to its allure recently. My 10m contest effort was again what I call "very casual." I spent 8 hours working low power mixed mode and made a little over 200 QSOs. I enjoyed the o... Read More
