Hey brethren,

I knew the warmup was coming but I'd been busy with other stuff so the last
minute RX antenna (a slightly elevated EWE) without much time invested turned
out to be a major failure and therefore a disappointment. To add up my grief,
the night was windy and all the wires in the vicinity were creating a racket
that  (for considerable length of time) would reach 50Db with nothing I coud do
about it. So with all said above, the mood was rather sarcastically skeptical. I
turn on the rig around 0100 and was surprised to hear W3LL calling CQ with a
steady signal through my 15Db noise at the time. I called - he replied. It was
a cheer. I carried on and worked several more that were audible. Then the noise
rocketed to 50Db and I had to QRT. I came back later to work N5IA (after 1 hour
of calling - but hey, 80 watts ain't a KW), K0DI, N7GP (some serious action
there - booming big time), and K1LT (weak but fine ears). All in all I made 11
q's with KC0W the farthest. Ian, G3ROO and I tried but failed (my fault). No
aids were used to make SP qso's - clean S&P if matters. While off I sent
some bitchy spots to the cluster saying that spots are ruining the fun.
73 folks,
yours Al (aka Alex)
