2006 ARRL November Sweepstakes (CW)

11/27/2006 | N8CPA Hey! Here's a coincidence.

The football team of my Alma Mater, The Ohio State University, finished the 2006 regular season 12-0. And this alumnus of that esteemed institution finished the 2006 CW Sweepstakes 12-0. That is 12 years of participation and 0 Sweeps.

But the coincidence does not stop there, oh no! In fact, 12-0 is a theme.

The are 12 inches in a foot, but I had 0 contacts with ND.

I wear size 12 shoes, but I've had 0 contacts with YT over all those years.

There are 12 months until the next CW SS, and I had 0 contacts with PAC this year.

Eggs are sold in lots of 12, and I ended up with a goose egg for the number of contacts with NE I logged this year.

In fact, if you divide 12 by the number of hands I have, it yields the whole number of Sections I missed this year.

Yet, CW SS remains 12 times as much fun as anything else I do throughout the year. I'll be back in 2007. To all I logged,
thanks for a great event! -- N8CPA
