Comments:

First contact was Bill, KC4D who is about 6.5 miles by air away.  He is running
on 20 meters and I can't hear the stations calling.  The band is dead.  The
question - is my radio or antennas bad.  I check all, but nothing can be found
wrong.  The reports I heard on the band is how bad it is.  And I agree. I never
heard the first call on 15 or 10 meters when I checked.  However, I did my usual
mode of S&P in casual manner of taking breaks, walks, entertaining visitors
and a great-grand-girl.  So, I had fun.

I need to work on better antennas.

450' Beverage - not a great help.  It dropped the noise, however the signal
also dropped out.  (Need to check for fallen limb damage.)
