Comments:

Unresolved equipment, antenna and software issues from previous weeks turned
this one into a "steal some time here, steal some time there" contest. 
Regardless, it was both fun (at times) an a challenge (all the time).  City lot
antennas for the low bands make the going rough at this point in the sunspot
cycle, although I did make KV4FZ happy on 160. 

A record 6 stations were on from DC: AH0AH, K3VOA, KE3VV, W3DOS, KA4IZN and me.
Yes, there is interest and activity from the District! On the other hand, I was
stopped mid-QSO by a station who insisted I was sending him an incorrect QTH,
as DC didn't come up in his software.  His loss... 

CU in the next one. Hope to have some *real* low band antennas by then!
