CQ WPX SSB Contest (Little Pistol)

As I'm screaming into the mic tonight trying get stations in neighboring states to hear me, I recall being in this exact situation during last year's WPX contest. And once again I find myself contemplating buying a nice piece of property that will allow me to put together a station to help me avoid this frustration.

So, instead of operating I'm designing antennas and looking at amplifiers. Probably going to make a few CW contacts just to clear my head. Might even sit with the GF and watch some reruns of Sex in the City, because that sounds a lot better than looking down the barrel of my mic. :-)
