[3830] N3BB Practice NCCC NA Jan 12

[Jim George]

Great conditions on 160-80-40, and 20 was open to the west, but worked only 
W7SW. Ran all six bands with W5JAW locally.  The practice was good in terms 
of moving stations and unlimbering. Lots of activity. Good stuff.

The numbers:

160   3Q    2M
  80  14Q  11M
  40  17Q  15M
  20    2Q   2M
  15    1Q   1M
  10    1Q   1M

TOT  38Q  32M

The weather forecast here in Central Texas for Saturday is terrible; an 
arctic front will pass through with rain and lightning, and icing possible. 
It sounds like lotsa QRN and potentially rain and ice static in addition, 
plus the potential of icing loads on the antennas. Not good.

We should have some good activity levels with the usual Austin Powers 
nonsense. K5PI has been our team captain.

See everyone Saturday, dodging the raindrops, static, and ice crystals 
(hopefully).
