Comments: Most bizarre SS condx since moving to Florida, on the usual
gravy band of 40 meters we were not able to run, AT ALL! While way
down from previous years, this score represents a HARD effort.and NO KP2N to
show for it! Had hoped to showcase SS from FL for N4KM (x-KS9O) only to
show him unanswered CQ's...all bands were EXTREMELY long, 6 meter EU and AF
spots on packet confirmed this...mebbe K1TO is right, we do better when
condx are BAD! Hope KP2N is doing alright after the way he was treated!
Arrrrrrgh...
The toys:
Two stations running NA10 networked via KA2AEV loop box using RJ45 cabling
via comm ports, ''twas flawless - at the end of the contest both computers
said the same thing (this is a first!)...
