Soapbox:
Friday night was challenging, to say the least. Noise was at summer levels
here from storms to the east somewhere. I did work a few stations east of
the MS just after our local sundown and KH6DX/M in ND(/SD) before! On
Sunday the band was more quiet but activity seemed to be less than last
year and the ARRL 160 contest last month. The JA opening was very long and
very loud on Sunday morning. Worked JH5FXP for my only real long haul DX
of the contest. Great ears OM! 9M6NA was very loud just after local
sunrise on Sunday, with the consequent monster pileup.
See you in the ARRL DX CW.
