Comments:
We all had a great time. The first 24hrs were incredible,
first 2 hours on 20 were 217 and 205 finishing with 4962Qs
the first day. But only 2284Qs the second day. We expected
better condx on 40M.
The second night, I found myself fighting for my running freq.
with a 300W Italian station on 40M. His 300W were louder than
my full KW into a 4el yagi into the East Coast...
73s Eric, NP3A
