How many of you were able to make contacts during last weeks North American QSO Party?
I was able to make a few contacts in between honey do's. :) I also made some SSB contacts to MD, Eastern
Shore on 144.200 MHz during a short opening.
How many of you participated in the 10GHz and up contest? If you did I hope that you had fun.
One of these days I will have to look into the cost of 10GHz gear and maybe even give it a try.

Where has the summer gone? Seems the older I get the faster the seasons pass.
The children here in the Richmond will be starting back to school week after next and I
start back next week. This semester will be a killer as I have 5 classes I will be taking,
which total to 15 credit hours. Oh joy.

What about this summer's heat wave? It just keeps on coming and coming like the energizer bunny.
We have had some serious storms come through the Richmond Metro Area
this past week, like other parts of the country, causing power outages, flooding,
and tree damage to homes. I hope that you and your family have not been
adversely affected by these storms.
How well did you do in last weekends ARRL UHF contest?
I was able to make about 10 contacts however, there were not a large number of stations
