Wow that was rough!!  Lots of noise and signals didn't seem as good as they were
during the RTTY NAQP a couple of weekends ago.   10M was not happening here much
at all.  Anticipating that 10M would be a bust, I decided to reconnect the
feedline and radials to the 160M antenna, which was good for a few points and
mults, but extremely noisy.   Got several requests to move to 80 and 160 from
guys in TX and was able to work everyone that asked me to move.   

It was good to bask in the nice air conditioned shack and not be outside in the
107 degree WX.   It's 12:30AM local time as I write this and it's still about 90
degrees outside.  

I will most likely not be on for the NAQP SSB.  Plans are to camp with the Boy
Scouts that weekend.  Sure hope the temperature drops off by then and the camp
area doesn't catch fire.
