Comments:

The weather usually governs my plans and this year was no exception.  The
predicted thunderstorms never materialized and I lost at least two hours of
prime operating time watching absolutely spectacular sunsets and a sunrise
Sunday morning.   My multipliers were way up not only due to the consistent
e-skip and double hop on six but steady tropo and e-skip on two meters to the
west northwest.   10:30 am on Sunday morning brought six new grids in Colorado,
New Mexico and Arizona on two meters.  Arizona is about as good as it gets from
the Tennessee/North Carolina line… (1400 miles!). 

I had more than the usual failures starting with no 2304 receive.  The six
meter rig became a little flakey during the last hours of the test but limped
along.  K2DRH found me on a dead two meter band mid Sunday afternoon for a new
grid.  Good ears Bob!

I hope to have the 2304 rig up and running soon.  See you all in the CQ WW VHF
and the ARRL UHF test.
