Roger on Harry's remark "single op, 36 hours/no conditions." Congrats
to OH5LF who at 20Z on Sunday was the only European to move the
S-meter on 15 all weekend. The bands will come back to life again
someday -- I'm sure of it!
The intermittent S6 JA buzz returned this weekend for a small part of
Friday evening and all of Saturday and Sunday evenings. My apologies
to all the Asia/Pacific folks who got to experience me "CQing in their
face."
Many thanks to the Leesons for letting me come over and make a go of
it. The station worked great, as always! The featured weather
activity this weekend was a lifetime supply of hailstones, which gave
way Friday night to a snowstorm, which later gave way to more
hailstones.
Because of the new 36-hour single op rule, the west coast got to spend
about ten hours hours CQing on dead bands rather than about four hours
like in the Old Daze[tm]. I'm certain this comes as a surprise to no
one. The additional six hours of on-time would have been better spent
roasting chestnuts on an open fire with Dave and Barb and enjoying the
snowscape.
