ARRL Sweepstakes CW 2007 -- Photo Finish









I snapped a few photographs at N6ZFO's QTH throughout the weekend. Our raw score is -- 755 -Qs, 78 mults, 117 Kpts -- we missed PAC and NL mults. South Florida remained elusive until late into the second day of Sweeps. A few notable moments on Sunday included working Jamie, NS3T Radio-Sport dot com on 20 meters and Keith, W4KAZ Amateur Radio from the "Cheap Seats" on 40 meters. Thanks for the Sweeps -Q's Jamie and Keith. The best moment goes to those in the Q precedent (PREC). We were thrilled each time when a QRP station called. Thanks! It would be interesting to note as a comparison if QRP participation increased against other Sweeps years? The bulk check (CK) decade, as a quick observation, fell into the 1950s. We missed my buddy John, W6ZIP who is working his way back into RadioSport as a low-power, low-profile Level-3 operator in Southern California. Next year for sure. I had a blast at the bottom, bottom of the cycle and looking forward to Sweeps in 2008, contest on.
