Comments:
Had a pretty good time, overall.
Had enough people and plenty of food.
160 meter 8 circle is still 'AOL'. Frustrating!
Beverages worked really well. The recent work with filtering and switching
paid off.
Lots of QRN from far off thunder storms Saturday night. Made things really
tough at times on the low bands. When the storms causing that thunder arrived
on Sunday about 1700 UTC, the rain static from hard rains made things difficult
on 15 and 20 meters. This dictated some 'unique' antenna choices.
Tuning on the 80 meter, 4 element delta loop array has gotten quite narrow,
which was not helpful. The cause needs to be found an fixed before the next
'big one'.
Unfortunately, one of our friends and CW operators, Jack, W0UCE, unexpectedly
passed away on Friday (I believe). He was hoping to operate with us this
weekend, but had not been feeling well. We all will miss him.
Thanks for all the Q's. It was a blast.
73 de Steve, NR4M and the whole 'goat farm' gang.
