2014 ARRL November Sweepstakes (Phone)

11/17/2014 | KD2ETT

 Josh AA2AN and Walt N2IK worked 2014 SS Phone as a Multi HP Assisted station from AA2AN's station. We set our goal to get a clean sweep even if we had to sacrifice our score to do so. We got our clean sweep and we had a lot of fun.

Propagation was pretty good this year. A decent 10M opening.

A Big Thank You to all the stations that made an effort to be on the air so that every section was able to be worked. I want to especially thank the Hawaiian station and the Northern Territories station we worked (SRI cannot recall the callsigns), AL7G, and VE8EV who all had massive pileups that took a long time for little pistol stations to break through. Their skilled patient operations were an example to us all.

The skills of the Big Gun operators have to be heard to be appreciated. I have much to learn.

It was fun to work Ward N0AX and Valerie NV9L from Ham Nation in the contest.

We need more Canadians on the air in the contest, Please get on the air next year so we can work you  and you can get a sweep also.
