ARRL SSB DX Contest Results

[K1PU]

I didn't play for the whole thing.
Got on about 10AM Saturday ... off at 11PM less eating and bathroom brakes.
10 was hopping, had signals al the way up to 28.950!
Sunday got on about 2:20PM until the end, minus food consumption time
Had a ice dam on the roof and water was getting in the upstairs storage room.
After some beating and ice melt, plus some heat gun action I broke it away from the room and the waters flowed!

I never compete well on SSB.
Lack of a beam is the primary handicap, but still fun despite not having 6 db forward gain plus F/B to block out the guys to the west while working EU.
