NAHSMS Dec 03 Contest

Hey, not too good an effort as I was out of town most of Saturday and also Sunday is NFL football time on TV!

Thanks guys for putting on a great contest. First contest I've ever done NOT as a rover: Conditions were up and
down , but participation was good and the atmosphere on PJ was pleasant and cordial. 7 new grids here and a new
personal DX record during the shower.

In retrospect, I probably spent way too much time calling CQ during the random windows. Although I made two QSO's
on random. I suspect that most participants had forgotten about or ignored this option. Perhaps greater incentive (multipilers)
next time for the 2 meter randoms?

Finally got somthing patched together!

Next year please schedule the snow and wind for another week, QRN just killed me on this end, was glad that there were a lot
of strong signals aboave my noise level!

Was good to see a few new calls on the band.

I would rate this shower about average to little below average.

Was only able to work a few hours this weekend!

Lots of people on during peak times - reading the PJ central was a bit tough; every refresh would add 20 lines.
