As the contest started, my computer crashed and Windows decided I needed some updates. I was able to make an initial 11 contacts as the band faded out. Saturday, we were up early, but instead of getting back into the contest, we went to watch one of the Pasadena Rose Parade floats go for a test drive. We chased it up and back down the street as it tested all the moving parts. As part of the test, they had a float fire drill in the middle of the test drive. After that it was off to do some shopping, and home in time for the band to fade once again. Sunday, we put up our Christmas lights, and I got back to the contest as it was winding down.
I did not spend much time on the air, but it was great to get in with good conditions and make a few contacts. The weekend was a fun mix of radio contesting and outside events.
