Pleasurably operating this year over the weekends comfortable e 20 degrees lower temperature that we have been experiencing I managed to rake in a few points. There were more sunspots visible this year since the last solar cycle making for good conditions.

Nothing to write home about. The contest prompted me to update my N1MM logger after a long spell of inactivity.  Once I got it up and running I had some fun despite my compromised antenna and location.   With the solar activity on the up rise the conditions were best in some time. Running 100 watts to a hustler mobile whip I decided to search and pounce for the entire contest.

WN2MOQ from the ancient archives

My Uncle helped build the 6AG7 oscillator that put out about 7 watts on 7 and 3.5 Mhz.  Taken shortly after passing the Novice exam.  The old Polaroid was a little scratched. Photoshop helped it up a little.

Conditions were mixed, so with my compromised antennas, the hustler mobile whip attached to a fire escape on the fifth floor of a building in lower Manhattan NYC, it was not that easy cracking through.  I did manage to run on 40 toward the end of the contest on Sunday night.
