[Mldxcc] [NCCC] 10 meter contest propagation

[Dick Wilson]

46 Qs in about 1-1/2 hours. CA, NV, CO, MT, BC, VE7, one XE,
3 ZL. CW only.
Almost same conditions as Jim...4 el SteppIR at 80'...3400' elevation,
1.5 kw, 1000 MP.
I think K6JS & I were calling CQ on same frequency for a while.
Moved a little, then heard someone under me there, too.
I'll try again in the AM, but have a couple of Netflix movies & a
ton of chores that need attention. Like getting 10 M RTTY log dealt
with.
Thanks all for Qs so far...hope to see a few more.

Dick
