Comments:
I had originally intended to just dabble in this one because I had expected
conditions to be poor. But things seemed pretty good so I got a little more
serious and ended up spending 15 hours in the chair, interspersed with other
weekend/family activities. I was pretty much unconscious by 1200Z Sunday.
Maybe 20 is getting back to what I remember in the foggy, distant past - there
were always some Europeans managing to come through. But it was frustrating to
listen to the East Coast work stuff I couldn't even hear - again! Such is life
from the Black Hole. 40 and 80 were pretty rough, but got better in the last
few hours. NU1AW and W1AW/8 were active everywhere with good signals - I had
17 QSOs with the two of them.
As always, special thanks to everybody for digging out my 5 watt peanut
whistle, especially on 40 and 80. ZL6QH really hung with me to pull my call
out on 40. - There were some great ears out there.
Station: Yaesu FT-897D running 5 watts to a Wilson SY-3 three element tribander
and wires.
73,
Randy, ND0C
