Comments:
Good tropo on 144: worked Northern New England through the Chicago area from our
western PA FN00 grid. 222 and 432 gave the usual good results.
6m, on the other hand, was near a disaster. S8/9 noise (on an upgraded K3) all
day Saturday made any copy almost impossible. Sunday was somewhat better.
Perhaps one of the dozens of commercial services with which we share the
mountain didn't operate on Sunday :-) More likely though, was the steady rain
mitigating the noise source. The brief Eskip opening on Sunday late afternoon
yielded exactly ONE contact, in EM30 (Louisiana).
Participation seems to be continuing to decline in this contest.
