Overall, condx were good! Saturday AM was poor, but Saturday evening was
amazing on 20 Meters. Suddenly, about 03:15, Europe came out of the noise. For
an hour I tuned up and down 20 Meters working every European station I called,
most on the first call. Then, just as suddenly, it was back to normal.
It is my highest score since 2018. 64 European QSOs, but still no Europeans on
10 Meters. My best Q was 9M6NA on 40 Meters.
No station failures. I keep waiting for the SteppIR to stop working but it
continues to work flawlessly after 16 years!
See you next Fall! Bill W8QZA - W6QU
