It has been a fun radio day. I got my results in for the NAQCC and have been watching to see when my log would be posted. It did happen tonight. I am not a fan of how the NAQCC has split out so many categories from key type, antenna type, and call zone. I'm not sure there is ever a declared overall winner of the sprint. It is good for seeing how my station is doing compared to others. However I have no idea how much power different stations are running.
I got my QSO for the day quickly. It was a SKCC station. Just a quick exchange with a station in VA. I thought of shutting down right away and taking a break for the night. Instead I tuned around a little and dug VE3SO out of the noise. I am starting to really enjoy seeing what I can copy. Peter wanted to exchange SKCC numbers also. I love hearing the band noise and even the stations surrounding who I want to hear. They are only close but not right on our frequency. They have no idea I am listening past them. They would be "arm chair" copy but I am not interested in them. The QSO was barely completed. I looked up VE3SO and it states "NO QSL". Unfortunate. I would have enjoyed sending my card to him.
The mail came! I like how simple this card is. I appreciate each QSL card that is delivered.
