Comments:
We had fun! Great team and good teamwork. Condx were not the best but attitude
was good. We worked everyone we could hear and found and worked as many
multipliers as possible.
Few little Murphy moments were conquered as we were testing some new software.
One power supply bit the dust in the late hours but we had a spare in place in
short order.
One of our regulars ops, Roger, N4RR had to tend to some family health concerns.
Mike, ND9G jumped in for the first time visit and did a super job. AG9S and K3WA
stopped by to check on us!
We started the first few hours with good rates on 20 and 40 but really slowed
around midnight. We covered 80 and 40 both nights. We could hear EU started at
5AM but it took a couple of hours before we could start getting some traction
enough to run. Many stations jammed on 20m as 15m was not very good. We had a
fair opening on 15m to EU for a short time on Sunday. 10m was not good at all on
Saturday but a touch better on Sunday. We kept watching the band but called CQ
several times to watch the RBN for openings.
We had a front move through the area and it brought a lot of QRN and stopped
operation on occasion as the charged clouds moved over us. Generally 80m was not
too bad but we had no receiving antennas up yet to help us out.
Thanks for the QSOs and fun. See you in CQ WW Phone and CW.
73, Craig K9CT
