Comments:

It was nice to test out the new phasing system I recently built and tested on
our 4 square. It uses 0°/120°/240° phasing. Combined with using less-loss
phasing lines everywhere, we have scraped up some more meaningful performance. 
The RDF value is much better than hybrid coupler, and so it works well being
used as part of diversity reception. 

We are currently dealing with some powerline RFI at N2QV, so I limited my time.
I knew that if I had sat down and been doing well the 20db over S9 buzz would
have returned instantly. Of course it was absent both nights since its been wet.
Oh well. 

I got on near EU sunrise each night. Friday EU was weak. Saturday night, I heard
a few EU station over S9.  Still just not enough of them.  I noticed people were
willing to spread out all the way across the band this year. Made a big
difference, I thought QRM was down.  

73,
Scott, WU2X
