    I appreciate the effort, but they are vanishingly weak at my QTH this morning on SSB 10, 15, and now 20 at my QTH, whereas I have heard every other station quite well. I hope they go to FT8 again.

    I'm going live on SSB in 4 minutes (17:00 UTC) at 21.330 USB as W7O

    I'm beaming NE, Yagi at 70 feet, full KW

    I won't "self spot" - I'll just call for a few minutes if you want to try - but at 5 minutes in I will have to spot myself so others will know

    I hear you at a 2x2 but most everyone that talks to you is S9. I think I am too close.

    I have to run out to pick up a prescription - but I will be on 20m SSB when I get back - 14.325 or so - TBD when I'm back in the shack.

    Working W7O - coming down to the final hours!! I'm at 949 QSOs (I didn't work the first 2.5 days but several others DID work W7O then).

    I just heard W7UUU aka W7O running the pileup at 14.238.
    There were too many family duties this past week, including felling a tree and other yard work to get done while we're having great weather, for me to participate this year. Now that it's the final hour I won't get in the way of those working toward a "Big Stomp".
    But next year, for sure.

    Last 14 minutes....
    Agh....why oh why didn't i learn CW?!
    I need the B for the full stomp and he's definitely a CW guy.
    I know what to study over this winter.
    Lots of fun!!!

    I needed G but wasn't able to get it today. My fault as I didn't get to start until yesterday.

    I did see a DX spot that W7G was on 14.245. These remarks were with the spot. "LSB FN42me -> DN31ro". What does the comment mean?

    I don't do digital (too much digital stuff with work, lol) but think maybe this relates to digital.

    AWESOME event!!! I got to 1189 QSOs - last ones right at 23:59!! I missed the first 2.5 days but I still think my 1189 is a pretty good number for the time I had.

    Thanks BJ for everything - this was a real hoot! Let's start planning that "post Bigfoot Debrief Lunch" at the clubhouse!!
