Comments:

Rig: IC-9700/Gemini 70-1k
Pwr: 600W(SSB)/300W(FT8)
Ant: M2 432-6wl @30ft

The temperature dropped below freezing and it was very windy. The conditions
were pretty lousy. Deep QSB and the multipath distortion on FT8 was downright
wicked. Sometimes I got the best decodes by moving the antenna 20 degrees or so
away from the station I was trying to work. I made one cross-mode QSO with Pete,
K1PXE on SSB/CW, and QSY'd from FT8 to SSB to complete the QSO with WO2T. I was
very fortunate that Al saw my QSY request. Al's signal was plenty strong, but
the MD made it impossible to complete the contact on FT8. Best DX, as always it
seems, was Gary, KE8FD, at 366 miles. I did not use spotting assistance or the
chat pages. All in all a very enjoyable evening playing radio!

Many thanks to the sponsors and for the Q's!
