Comments:

Mic-shy Tim (N3QE)and Paul N8HM sat in the chair for this one, as I am still
recovering from major surgery and the rest of the regular Team DC crew were
otherwise occupied. 

Tim started out at the beginning of the test, when the goings were not great.
The band seemed unusually noisy and the acivity was lower than expected. It
didn't get much better during his time in the chair. Paul came in on Saturday
night. While conditions were somewhat better, west, north west, and most of VE
were pretty much in our cone of silence. 

It also seemed that our 500w wasn't cutting it where fellow DCer KE3X's KW was.
I still haven't fixed my receive antennas, but fortunately the inverted-L dos
hear better than most. More stuff to work on and save for!

Station: 
 TT Orion 565 
 TT Hrecules II (500w)
 Inv-L @75 ft + 22 radials
  
Ops: 
 Tim, N3QE & Paul N8HM 

Thanks to all for -- as always -- a fun time.

73, 
Eric W3DQ 
Washington,DC
