Tom and Bonnie for their great hospitality again!

This was not a serious IARU effort… mainly got on to try and work as many WRTC
QSOs as possible, run a few stations, and just hang out with Tom.

With WWV numbers at Flux=200, A=7, and K=1, one would think we would have
great conditions! NOT. So much for propagation theory...  I thought conditions
were lousy for those kind of numbers.

I agree with the other comments that the signal levels were very similar.
Any differences were likely due to antenna direction, and nuances that are
impossible to overcome when you are trying to find 53 "like" QTHs. I was
going to make a list of signal levels, but as I started to find the guys, I
realized their signal levels were so close, that there was really nothing
worth while to report on. The choice to use mountain tops was a good one,
as it gave the stations the extra boost needed it to make the path to
California!

On Copying: "5NN 6" was my report... and it was interesting to hear the
pause by so many stations... I guess they assumed I was in zone 8, and had
to go back and fix the log :)
