Comments:
100 W, dipole up 30', all keyed on a Vibroplex bug.
Planned to operate Saturday late afternoon/evening and early Sunday morning.
Unfortunately, some storms rolled through late in the day on Saturday, so the
bands started noisy and I called it a night pretty early. It's hard to pick
the signals out of frequent +20 dB lighting.
Sunday morning was still pretty noisy, but enough less so that contacts were
possible. I had a nice run as fresh meat. When the sun came up, the noise
died down, which is consistent with the storms being to my east and having
their signals absorbed when the D-layer was established.
Hopefully the bands will be in better shape for the Big Stew!
