Using a borrowed radio and antenna from the local Ham radio club, callsign:K3QY, and with assistance
from the control operator Jody Farr(AB3J). I was able to complete 52 contacts over 3 bands
(40m,20m,15m). We had trying working the 10m band as well but found it unusable during the contest.
Special shout-out to Marshall(W1HK) for being the longest licensed operator that we had a contact
with, 1955, double nickel!

I had a good time in my first RR! Bands were terrible the first hour or two then I got called into
work. I was able to work 3.5 hours and loved every minute. Thanks to all the stations that took the
time to work me, I had a blast!

Note, I am not a Rookie.  I was first licensed in 1961.  I only made contacts with Rookies, and
thanked them for their efforts to become licensed, and be radio active.

WX4TH had some good first-time radio guys. Deon and Will did a great job on some bad bands today. I
was honored to help out as a Coach for this event. They were doing great and then life got in the
way, and it was time to leave and go get the kids. It would have been great to finish the whole
contest, but family comes first.
WD4NC was the host, Radio was a FT-991a, 100 watts and a wire. Great job guys.
