    Yeah, it is nice being able to sit inside your house with the AC on :)  
    
  I think for next year I want to save up and rent and RV and go to a  
  campsite or find a place I can run the Genset for 24 hours....  
    
  I will post more detailed stats later, but I did end up doing slightly  
  better than last year!  345 poings vs. 314 from 2025.  With the bonus  
  points of copying the ARRL bulliten, sending a RADIOGRAM to the area 4  
  Section manager, and sending 10 Radiograms via Winlink I should have 645  
  points..  
    
  I even ended up working Indonesia, Japan, Italy, and Mexico (there were  
  other Indonesian stations calling, but were not sending a FD echange. So we  
  had to skip them.)  
    
  I ended up going to bed at 0630, and intended to get up at 1030, but ended  
  up murdering the alarm and forced myself out of bed at 1200.  
    
  All and all, I have to be happy with what I was able to do, but it was  
  definatly beter last year!
