Well managed to get everything setup early out at my little hiding spot on
Fort Benning for Chattahoochee County the first hour or so felt horrible
like I wasn't getting much of anything - tried several bands made a few QSOs
on 20 and 40 then at some point during my run I noticed my SWR went up and
no one was working me. Looked back to realize that my antenna had come down
from the tree and was a big counter poise sitting on the ground. Well it
took me a little longer than the first time to get it back up and then I
took a few minutes to harass a friend of mine who was out at the site as
well for work reasons. Well finally ended up getting 314 in the log not the
best but a pretty good effort and I tell you sitting out in the middle of
Ranger Land with nothing around other than the 'Shed' it was great - very
little noise - even 80mtrs was nice.
Have not made final plans for tomorrow yet will probably use the K4BAI
antenna array from MUSC - going to set up in his front yard and use his
antennas while he is out mobililing around - John I do appreciate it! I
promise not to make a clean sweep on CW even though I am 7 shy from clean
sweep US and 10 for CA (the usual suspects!)
Oh one more thing N4ZZ - you come in steal our state for the GQP, then you
steal my QRG out from under me, then you don't even work me for the multi!
That's harsh - I owe you come the TN QSO Party! ;) -- should have been nice
and hot for you by the time you took over - figure you couldn't hear me so I
just moved up and let you run it kind of glad I did cause you brought me
lots of business! ;)
I hope all the mobiles are safe and sound out there and everyones ears
aren't as sore as mine are right now. Have a good one dit-dit see you
tomorrow from MUSC
