This one was for the club. Going up against the mob with my diminutive
antennas was a little intimidating. But that was neutralized by the
superlative conditions on 15. Wonder what happened to 10? 40 was open, and
fairly quiet, but relatively deserted. The mob was on 15 all day and night.
One point rule a big winner IMHO. Strategy became work anything that would
call me back. Kept the lean spots from becoming depressing.
Preliminary tower work under way so big antenna was laying on the ground.
Wait till fall....
