Set up and QRV at 2020 UTC 7-20. Band open to Ohio and New York, then boom! A
big thunderstorm coming in. Lost 2 hours of operating time due to the
thunderstorms rolling through. When the rain finally decreased at 2300 UTC - I
tried but could not drive to my usual spot. I operated portable in front of an
apartment complex, but on a high hill. Most contacts made with the mobile whip
due to lighting still in the area. I was able to get the yagi up for the last
hour I was on. Strong Es on 6 to the east, many contacts with FM19. Some short
Es to Colorado - N0KE DM69 and K0NR DM79. Band stretched out around 0200 and I
logged W7CNP CN97 and KE7V CN88. Sunday double hop Es to Puerto Rico. I was
"out of the contest" Sunday(can only operate 6 hours in the
Hilltopper category) but made "check log" contacts from home with
NP4A and KP4EIT FK68 ~ 1500 UTC. Pedro and Jose were loud.
