Comments:
Due to unsettled weather of rapidly changing sun and rain, I decided to attempt
to activate just two grids instead of my usual four: FM29 at a new-to-me
location, and home grid FN20. I only put the mast up 3 out of 5 segments due to
high winds, and still the rover van shook with wind gusts. When I was attaching
cables to the top of the mast, I got hit with rice-sized wind-driven sleet.
First time using my "new" TE amplifier, putting out a little less than
200w peak on SSB. I was disappointed again in the lack of signals in this
sprint, and it seemed like some folks would call CQ but by the time I could
swing my 10el beam to them, they were gone. At the first grid all SSB contacts;
the second was just FT8 (I called CQ on both modes at both grids with only one
response). Shout out to W1FKF for my longest contact again, 300miles to FN43 on
FT8.
