2008 Sweepstakes

Well, another one in the books. It does look as though I will not be taking home first place in the section this year, unless something changes. One of my fellow PVRCers, Ed, will take the crown this year for Virginia. That makes it a much easier fact to accept knowing that at least PVRC holds the title.

From all indications, it appears that we had a very good showing from PVRC for this contest. I would love to see us taking the gavel back this year!!!

It's all over now but the waiting.......

Go PVRC!!!

I am still alive!!

For those who may be wondering, I have not dropped out of contesting. I am finishing up my degree and I have only 3 semesters left.  I am doing all I can to graduate with honors, and so far it seems to be working OK.  I am rewarding myself for doing all of my homework by contesting on the weekend.  I have missed all of October’s contests with the exception of CQ WW DX (SSB).  I did not do as well in the contest this year as I did last, but it was fairly close.  The conditions were terrible and I was happy to just score as high as I did this time.  It was a real slugfest, but fortunately the last day was much better conditions.  I will send more about this later.  This is just a reminder to everyone that I have not become a Silent Key…..
