Amateurs<BR><BR>Comments:<BR><BR>Another fun WQP and up nort adventure!
This was N9BCA and my 25th year mobiling<BR>around the state.<BR><BR>Drove up to
the cabin in Florence County Saturday afternoon. Bank Thermometer<BR>said
67 degrees! Only snow left was in the ditches. Mind you this
is<BR>Wisconsin. Rather unusual weather!<BR><BR>Found our Saturday night
Steaks (or as we described it, shoe leather) and spent<BR>the evening shooting
the bull with a lot of fun people. Saturday morning we<BR>went out for
breakfast and spent a lot of time answering questions about that<BR>thing parked
out in the parking lot full of antennas. No we were not
tracking<BR>Wolves, Bear or Moose!<BR><BR>As far as contest went, everything
went smooth. Had one scare at the beginning<BR>when I turned on the K3 and
got an error message: "ERR PL2" and the<BR>radio was dead! A couple
reboots and we were OK. Best we could figure out was<BR>the radio took a
surge when we started up truck at the starting line.<BR><BR>Usually contest
rates get better as the day goes along....kinda worked that way<BR>again, except
the last hour really took a dive...not sure why.<BR><BR>Here are our
rates:<BR><BR>Hour 1: 93<BR>Hour 2: 113<BR>Hour 3: 116<BR>Hour
