However, I really had only one decent run and a couple very short runs. In any case, I still had a blast and I’m really pleased with the recordings I used for my voice keying since I had NO requests for repeats when I used it. Of course using voice keying isn’t always the best idea. Use with discretion. But it’s nice to be able to talk the next day.

Here’s a screenshot of my message buffer:

Comments:
A lot of work even with 400 watts! My favorite time was running a small pile-up for several minutes of NCCC KBers. Last Sweepstakes from this QTH, will be moving before next year. Will be hopefully in a better antenna location next year!
