It was 1859 before CW. It
was 1859 before spark. It was 1859 before our time was taken away
with "reality" television, DVD's, cell phones, and email. It was
1859 before daylight saving time. Take a moment to relax and enjoy
the "real" world. This mid-summer event might just build your WAS,
DXCC, and provide you with some operating pleasure. Be a part of history! Are
you certified at 65 WPM? Good for you. Are you happy at 8 WPM?
That is just fine too. Just get on and work someone!

| Forgot that stations could be contacted more than once until almost the end of the contest. I missed some easy points there. Missed the antenna class of W7OM, so missed some more points there. Tried to run them early in the contest, but after a couple of responders, nothing, so I returned to search and pounce. Still can't believe that I copied N5GW twice with him running only one watt. Heard WØCQC but he could not hear me. Also heard a Maine station quite distinctly, but he also could not hear me. This was my first effort in the Colorado Gold Rush. I enjoyed it immensely.
Pete, NO2D.

| This was my first CQC
contest (actually the first qrp contest of any sort). There was a lot
more activity than I had expected --- a very pleasant surprise. I'll be
doing this again Russ, AK4GY |
