OSU at Illinois
I picked up a cold last week. It’s been with me since about Tuesday. I thought I pretty well was getting it kicked. And, then Sarah’s family came to watch the OSU-Illinois game. I’m not a big football fan. But, I did enjoy watching the game despite the icy wind. Watching Beanie Wells jump an Illinois defender was definitely worth the price of admission (I was not fast enough with my camera and I don’t have a telephoto lens). But, the cold came back—with a vengeance. That put a damper on the 200 QSOs I hoped to contribute to the SMC total for SS Phone. I made about 60 this morning, mostly on 40 meters, and mostly thanks to nice blistering run on 7187 kHz. I was really weak on 20 meters. I’ll probably make some more contacts this evening before the contest ends.
