I’ve been away on vacation for the past couple of weekends so I haven’t been on the air. I tried for ST0R in South Sudan before I left but the pileups were insane. They are still there for another 2 days so maybe tonight or tomorrow I can try and log 1 contact with them.

When I got home I had a small package of QSL cards from the bureau as well as a larger envelope from the ARRL. In the larger envelope was a certificate for the 2010 IARU HF Championship indicating I came in 1st place in the Northern NJ section for multi-op.  I operated using the DX Cluster which put me in the multi-op category and since there was only 1 other multi-op submission, I came out on top. When I look at the others in Northern NJ that submitted logs, they had some mighty impressive scores.

My parents will be in town this weekend so it looks like the next contest activity for me will be the weekend of Aug 20th and the NAQP SSB contest and maybe some time in the ARRL RTTY Rookie Roundup if I can find some rookies to give out points to.
