08/07/2002 | AA2UK What a contest I don't know where to start! I more than doubled my highest score in 1998. After a long rest from contesting the new station is really working well. Here is a short list of great contacts and operators I had the pleasure of working. W3IY/R my hat's off to Bill he is a top notch operator and a tireless rover, I worked him all the way through 10ghz while he was in FM15and in every one of the ten grids he activated! W2FU, Jeff provided contacts all the way through 3456 from FN13 Western NY, W4FSO in FM14 provided contacts through 1296, W3HMS/R John provided an new grid for me when he was in FN00 in Western PA on 10ghz, as well as working W4VHH in EM95 through 2304, great job Tom always a pleasure. Conditions were pretty flat Saturday until Sunday morning when we had a nice coastal to the south stations up to 500 miles were very strong, k4QI pinning my meter on 432 but Russ always has big signals. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did. I look forward to doing it all again in the September contest. 73 and tnx to all from Bill AA2UK FM29pn. -- AA2UK
