So Maybe Not 5 Times... · 7 March 2004

Well, right after I posted that, I got busy. The business continued throughout the night with the radio contest, Saturday with the wedding and all that is related, and has finally winded down now on Sunday morning.


The contest went pretty well – the low bands weren’t bad but they weren’t great. I got to see the value of morse code first hand—last week in 9 hours I contacted almost as many countries as we did the entire contest on one of the bands. We probably spent almost twice as much time on 40 meters on phone, but we only had about 10 more countries than I had in nine hours of work in the morse code (CW) contest. There are some pictures in the photo gallery.


The wedding was great. Congratulations to Matt and Jen and to their families. They are having a little bbq today that I might make it to if I wake up in time.


Also, trying to figure out what will happen with the house in the coming months. I’d love to know if I have a job here or there or anywhere, but without that knowledge, I want to stay in the house. I want to stay anyway – mainly because moving sucks and because I think we have a pretty cool house.


More on that nonsense later, for now I’m going to get some much needed sleep, as I’m at about 24 hours without, after only about 5 hours of sleep yesterday morning.
