01/06/2004 | KB8GOY Hello all, Wow what a gas, had a great time, I run a straight key most of the time so it did not bother me, worked 12 this year, starting with K4SFC at 0329Z, then kb3cvo, k0jvn, n5zg, n8moj, kf4pd, w0rtk, k6ena, kg4wil, wb4cxc, k9lck & kb0llz. By far for me the best qso was with K9LCK , Jim in Wausau, Wi at 1806z, longest of the event for me, best FIST I've heard during contest. Thanks Jim for all ur help.My key was an ex Russian military key and rig was Alinco DX70TH running 100 Watts into Alpha Delta DXCC at 35 feet. 73 all and thanks for the fun during the event.Most qso's were at 10-13 wpm.
