Comments:

A bad insulator on a power pole somewhere in the neighbourhood had me surely
sounding like an alligator a lot of the time.   OFten s3, but peaking to s9 at
times, there were moments I couldn't even hear the guys in New England
properly. ARGH !

First night I used a dipole @ 22' with an SWR that was near infinite.(no joke)
and worked out as far as 8-land. Some good ears deep into New England and the
Mid West.

Sat afternoon I reinstalled my old inverted L so I could get on and play.  Was
hearing OM2VL nearly 2 hours before sunset here.  

Never even heard KL7, KH6 nor KP4...only worked 2 W6 sections and no VE7's
heard at all, though VE6BBP was real loud... (weird!)

Thanks for all the patience.

Mike VE9AA
