Comments:
Toughest conditions I can remember. I fooled N1MM+ into thinking I took time
off, just because I couldn't be heard for more than a half hour several times.
Still, it was fun, and I coped with the frustration of 7 QSO's per hour, hour
after hour.
It was great to hear a lot of other Mad River folks on the air, but conditions
made it sound like there was almost no participation.
Thanks for the QSO's, and to all who listened hard to hear me. Believe me, I
was surprised how often I was listening hard, too.
