02/23/2006 | NF1A Had to limit my involvement to a 4 hour, 2 band effort, but had lots of fun anyway. Made 120 Q's for a rate of about 30 / hr S & P. But the first 80 Q's were made from my "Exercise Bike Mobile" contest station shown in the photo. Great way to stay in shape while contesting - - good adrenaline rush too. Imagine getting your heart rate up and QSO rate at the same time. I find it a lot easier to justify the time to my wife and myself this way rather that just sitting in a chair being sedentary. By the way, the last hour was done at the main operating position with an increased (Q) rate of about 40 /hr.
