Comments:

Forecasts for high humidity & rain showers plus other schedule conflicts
meant being a rover was just not practical.  Had enough time to do six hours of
QRP on Sunday.  So on Sunday, decided to drive up to the big hill (1050') near
Plato Center where several multi-op & single-ops were done back in the '90s.
 

Not much happened on 6 meters.  A few 2-3 minute openings were enough to add a
few grids using FT8.  Only 4 CW & 3 SSB contacts on 6 meters.  Two meters
was enhanced.  A bit surprising for the middle of the day.  Best was an FT8
contact to EM87.  Around half of the 2 meter contacts were on FT8.  Probably
should have spent more time on 2m FT8.  Need a second computer, too.

FT857 (10W) to homemade 4 element yagi at 10'
