Re: [IRCA] IrCa contest

Willis,

 

You just may do it, providing that you don't start acting like Rip Van Kaskey and nap out for several months at a stretch.  I do all my listening on the back porch with my Grundig S350, since I can't hear anything but hum inside the house.  If it gets too cold, I stop.

 

You could always save up your prize winnings for something really good, but adjusting for inflation, that probably wouldn't work out very well.  I'll get off to a good start to give you a good target to shoot for.

 

Mike

Hi Mike-
Thought I would stir the "pot" a little. I will trying to win this contest,
as I did the last one. Today I did a little work on the long wires, it was
sagging from the storms this last spring. Put me in good ground for the
transmitter and RCVR, and hope the good conditions last through September.

Still don't know what to do with my $5.00 prize from the last contest. Can I
win this new contest and add them together?

73,
Willis

be time for AM again. I'm probably not gonna have a chance on the contest
this year unless the midwest starts to have receiving conditions like the
west does. We'll see...
