Resting weekend, or at least trying to

Last work week was brutal, and not too much fun at all. Long, tough days at work and a couple evenings of CERT duty at a visiting carnival in town. I was doing pedestrian control, and it made for some extra very long days. I think from the look on my face, you could tell I wasn't the happiest of campers.

So this weekend, I wanted to get in a little radio time, and I did. It was a mixed bag. The highlight was working Mike KC2EGL as NY3EC aboard the USS Requin, a WWII submarine that was participating in Museum Ships Weekend. I wanted to work more Museum Ships, but I haven't been able to really find any.

I have worked a few POTA stations and I had a short QSO with John G4RCG in England on 17 Meters. The bands just seem to be devoid of a lot of activity this weekend, at least from what I've been hearing so far.

Tonight,I will see if I can drum up any QSOs in the 4 States QRP Second Sunday Sprint. I'll be using my newly built 4 States paddle, so maybe that will bring me luck.
