2002 ARRL November Sweepstakes (Phone)

I found this session of the ARRL SS phone contest to be very enjoyable.
The bands were all in good shape and this allowed me to make a clean sweep in just over 8 hours. Lots of high numbered checks so it looks like the newer ops are also in the contesting mode. It's a fun
contest for the ham with a modest station, and the exchange gives it
just the right amount of challenge to get all the info correct.
I would like to see team competition along the same lines as the teams
in the North American QSO Party. I hope to work some of the SS contesters during that contest in January 2003.
Here is my station description: ( a derringer station in the world of big guns )
FT 920 100 watts - Dipoles 80/40 and Classic 33 20-10 at 45'
73 and Season's Greetings,
