Comments:

An interesting weekend from hot West Texas.

The story:

Saturday   1800Z - 2235Z    =  285 QSO's  4's 8's 9's 0's & good groundwave
all over 5-land to the east

Then almost an hour of zip.

Saturday   2329Z - 0415Z    =  29  QSO's -  scattered all over the country

0430Z - 1145Z = Sleep

Sunday   1200Z - 2100Z   =  9 QSO's   +  4 trillion CQ's.  Band kept teasing
me, but never a good opening and NO rate -  last QSO was at 1743Z - after that
many many CQ's until 2100Z.  Only bursts heard.

Laser propagation to some areas - especially Saturday night.  One station in a
populous grid would be loud for a long time - and no other sigs heard.

Congrats to W5PR -  the old man did it!

287 SSB QSO's and 36 CW QSO's

Rig:  Elecraft K3 with voice keyer (thank God) + SPE Expert 2K-FA Amp 1500W

Antenna: M2 6M5X with half a reflector (ice damage)at 55'

N1MM+ logging software

Thanks to all for the QSO's & 73,

--Gator
