Was a good party, but wish I’d started earlier and others stayed longer. ?By late evening everyone was gone.?

Should just use pen and paper logs from now on! ?N1MM is too fast in ESM mode to change the 5NN sometimes! ? Not that things were moving fast enough, but old habits…
?
Heard a lot of really light signals, but not one I could not pull out, which tickled me to no end. ?QRP really puts the magic and wonder back into radio!

I got on at 00:00Z and ran until 02:00Z and had to QRT.? I had intentions to sneak back on at about 04:00Z but the sandman showed up and it just didn't happen.

I had a blast though, 40m was busy and from the QTH here in central Indiana I was able to work NY to OK with the KX-2, 5w, and my mojo encrusted attic dipole.

I worked 17 ARCI ops and 15 other QRPers with 20 SPC's....from the looks of the logs coming in, a lot of ops had good runs.

You can see the soapbox comments and the logs here:?

So far 15 logs have been turned in but from what I heard last night we should be seeing more as the day unwinds.

Worked 7 stations in the limited time I had on 40M, but did not log anything but calls and times. I really liked the patience people had. I was using an old QCX with the micro switch as the key...I'm getting rusty! Still, nice to be heard with just 5W.
