[bars] New England QSO Party this weekend...

[Tim KC1RET]

Well, I did participate most of the contest hours today but the Sun had 
other ideas.  I heard basically nothing on 10 & 15 SSB and really 
struggled to get a handful of contacts on 20 & 40.  40 did open up for 
me late in the day and I finished with around ~110 QSOs in the log.  
Pretty disappointing overall.  I think I had two good runs of 5-10 Qs in 
a row, that was fun. ;-)

I'll submit my log tomorrow.

Anyone else?

73, Tim - KC1RET
