Lots of fun! Raining on Saturday here in Dallas so a good day to stay in
and operate. Can't wait to get first coffee cup!
Worked hard at it Saturday for 10 hours, then off and on Sunday to find
the last few sections for a sweep. A few Murphy problems with the
logging PC made life a little tough. A total of about 16 hours effective
operation. 2 hours spent chasing VO1MP on 20M to no avail! Then bagged
him on 15M Sunday afternoon with little effort. I will take propagation
anytime! VE2's not heard much. Really got confused when a GM3 called me
on 20M!
Sort of ran out of gas Sunday; don't think I had recovered from J3A CQWW
operation.
PS - Apologize to K5RX/NTCC for missing my 100k quota! And no, not going
to make it up on SS Fone!
