Comments:
Made it on for two hours on Friday between 9pm and 11pm EST. Saturday I took
advantage of CQ's lack of a "one call per transmitter" rule to fire
up as W3USA.
Conditions sounded pretty good, but I could certainly tell the limits of my
hidden antenna station. Most QSOs were in 4/5 land. No W1 or W0 (or 6/7), no
NY, IN, WI, or MI. Caribbean DX much easier from FL, but OTOH I only worked two
VEs. I was hearing some W6/W7 getting louder toward the end, but my operating
position shares the room with the Murphy bed my visiting daughter is using, so
it was QRT at bedtime.
Towards the end, I heard a couple of buddies (N4PN and N8TR) S&Ping at the
high end, so decided to try some CQs to see if RBN would get some attention.
K9CT, who I had previously tried calling with no luck, quickly called in, along
with a guy in KY who may have just found me.
73 - Jim K8MR
