A beautiful day to be driving around Ohio. We did think about those further
east being hit by Hurricane Irene, and noticed the effect. No qsos in New
Jersey (along with other more commonly missed places).
With my recent drivers W8DRZ and AC8E unavailable, I found a new volunteer in
Joe, W8KNO. He passed the test well, and even got bonus points for getting us
back to our starting rendezvous point at 0359Z, by far the closest timing ever
for a K8MR mobile trip.
It was very nice to have good short skip conditions after years of being unable
to work other Ohio stations on 40 meters. 15 seemed open, but couldn't raise any
activity the few times I tried, and the only attempted QSY, well after dark with
W6OAT, did not work.
Only technical problems were breaking the boom mike off the Heil headset,
requiring an electrical tape job, and a first time computer that several times
developed sticky CW, even though it was running NA on a pure DOS 6.22 HDD.
As always a lot of fun. Thanks to all who participated. I expect to be out for
at least one day in the Pennsylvania QSO Party in October. See you then.
