Comments:
First contact was Bill, KC4D who is about 6.5 miles by air away. He is running
on 20 meters and I can't hear the stations calling. The band is dead. The
question - is my radio or antennas bad. I check all, but nothing can be found
wrong. The reports I heard on the band is how bad it is. And I agree. I never
heard the first call on 15 or 10 meters when I checked. However, I did my usual
mode of S&P in casual manner of taking breaks, walks, entertaining visitors
and a great-grand-girl. So, I had fun.
I need to work on better antennas.

450' Beverage - not a great help. It dropped the noise, however the signal
also dropped out. (Need to check for fallen limb damage.)
