[NCC] Fwd: ARRL 160 W3USA(K8MR) Single Op LP

[Jim Stahl]

Saturday night report: K1LT much easier to work. Good signal from W3HKK. Called N8EA and W8MJ several times, but no luck. Called NA8V early with no luck, later got through pretty quickly. Found W8WTS, not loud enough to expect a QSO but still possible. One call and Jim just disappeared. I hope he didn’t pass out from the surprise of hearing me on 160. 

I hope to have some Es next weekend to find you all in the ARRL 10 meter contest.


73  -  Jim  K8MR/4
