I promise not to whine about how lousy the low bands were for us and will focus on the up sides observed here at KL2R. Elaine N6PU soon developed a knack for keeping 15 meters open until late in the day on Saturday after some brief 10m fun with KL1JP. N1TX manned the late shift on 40 and 80, and it might as well have a head-banging contest. Elaine had a late-night work call-out and arrived about 1600Z. She soon mounted up for some 20m action. When guest operator Bob WL7GK arrived, she took him under her wing for the basics of operating this contest with Win-Test. After a little more side-saddle time with Larry, Bob soon found a technique that suited him: S&P. He netted several badly-needed sections, and I could see a big grin develop from this initial panicked look.
In short, I think we al learned something, both about each other as well as various technologies in the KL2R shack. It's a training ground, first and foremost.
