Comments:

My apologies to those who tried to work me from BRO/ATC/DON at the end of the
contest on Sunday afternoon.  Mother Nature decide to park a Kansas style
thunderstorm over my head and between the hard rain, rain static, and pea size
hail it was hard to hear anyone.  You haven’t operated mobile contesting
until you try operating when it’s hailing; I can cross that off my buck list
now.   I also discovered that mobile antennas make for excellent E-field probes
and I found myself as an unwilling participate in a study of E-field build-up vs
lightening.  I had at least a half a dozen really near field cloud to ground
lighting hits in that last hour.  I could hear the static build up from nothing
to 20 over S9 and then BAM, lightning, only to start all over again.  So if you
called me and I didn’t respond during that last hour, this was why.  I also
discovered that the weather for the Kansas QSO party tends to be bit warmer
than that during the Minnesota QSO party.  A benefit is that I found that my
cup of coffee stayed warm for a lot longer.
