02/18/2003 | N2IM This was supposed to be a GREAT year for my roving, but I got very sick with a flu, and could not venture outside. On Sunday night, however, I knew I had to get out for just a little while to help the club and use the equipment I spend so much time on integrating! On my way to my first operating location, I decided I was going to change my category to Single Op Portable and would stay out as long as possible. I arrive at 2350, and began to work the rovers and some others. The thrill was knowing that most of my stuff seemed to work! I made my first contacts ever on 903, 2304, and 3456. I was only able to last for about an hour, and then I had lost my voice again, so I headed for home. I did my best Single Op Portable score ever in just an hour! Oh well! It was still fun! -- N2IM
