Club: Northern California Contest Club

Comments: missed only NL (saw him on the cluster but was never able to hear him). Was mostly S&P with a few runs whenever I could squeeze in and be heard.

Station: I actually operated 100 watts but ran in Unlimited category to be able to use packet spotting (in an effort to garner points for the NCCC versus operating with individual glory as a goal). So my rig was my trusty Yaesu FT-857D putting out a clean 100 watts into my Butternut HF9V, Windom, or shortened dipole for 160m. I use Writelog for logging and of course a Rigblaster Plus for the sound card interface and keying.
