All day Saturday, watching the clock, watching the wx.
So much QRN could not evaluate results of previous day
working with power company to solve local line noise.
Had expected to be knee deep in QRM by dark,
but so much QRN didn't even try to make a contact.
Reluctantly turned the rig off and watched the ball game.
Late to bed but woke around 0800utc.
Checked the band. QRN minor. Pleased to see that
line noise problem had been solved on Thursday.
Of course it was way too late to try doing a serious contest
so decided to just try a couple qrp type contacts.
Picked a loud station and was surprised to get him on first try.
Wow, tried another, got him!
Obviously this was spur of the moment effort.
Power out was about 4w on a 'BIRD' 50w slug.
Hard evidence that band was not crowded,
'Big Gun' came on freq with qrl? ,
I tossed 4w in his face and he moved off!!!
Actually the 4 watts didn't have as much to do
with his moving as fact that he was one of the 'good guys'.
Probably not a good sign that this old man
gets so much enjoyment out of this game?
