Comments:
Interesting trip to Aruba considering all things happening back in TX.
Carl & Sue are involved in the noble effort of helping out on Joob's estate,
Decided to run a SO operation instead of Multi-op. Carl and Sue climbed the
USA tower and repaired the lower TH7 Friday morning. This was a remarkable
blessing for the weekend with lower TH7 becoming the primary run antenna. A
Strong performer.
The change to SO was made knowing that a full time effort was not option.
1st night did the stay up late and then break, second night turned in earlier &
got up looking for low band openings. Sunday was feeling the effect of lack of
sleep.
Typical band conditions as reported by P40L. 160 was rough although slightly
better then last year. Thanks to VY2TT for plugging me on several bands for a
needed multi. Couldn't break any band into 60+ on multi count as noted in
breakdown. Sad on some of the multi's = No AR on 80/160, Missing SD,ND on
some, No MS on 80, etc. Thanks to those that moved bands & provided new
multi!
Many thanks to Carl & Sue for being great hosts.
No issues with station operation.
Several said Hello Carl and that was passed along.
