Comments:
Man, this was tough sledding (no pun intended, as we got another 8 inches of
snow). Discovered right away that the beverages didn't work right. The
all-important WEST beverage was useless...the SOUTH bev was noisy...used the EU
bev for almost all directions...weird. A fix would have to wait til morning.
Trudging through 3 - 4 feet of snow on the back 40 woods found a couple of tree
branches on the wires...but day-2 proved no better. Storm noise or what?
EU were few and far between. The few loud ones had trouble hearing me and the
EU SR never really materialized. The best I could get out of HV0A was
"QRZ W1" ... later he got chased off 1823 for apparently being
out-of-band. I thought Francis could operate anywhere he wanted? No G, F, HB,
SP, S5 etc...few W6s and 7s....hard to believe.
On a good note, KH6CC did find me on my first SR. Where was Lloyd? And a loud
LU2DFK called in on the wee hours of morning-2.
Always nice to hear: "Thanks for the new one." 73! -- John, W1XX
