[RSM] K3KU Field Day

[Art Boyars]

Met all my objectives: Have fun (always #1 objective); check out station
for RAC Canada Day; practise SSB (for RAC).  Those objective do NOT work
for max score.  Many times I was not on the band or mode that would
generate the most points per minute.  The station worked pretty well; I had
some nice runs, especially during Sunday's high-band  sporadic-E openings
to New England, eastern Canada, and out to Minnesota

That was the good news about propagation, looking forward to Canada Day.
The bad news was that I heard almost nothing west or north of Minnesota.
OTOH, I was on only from Saturday night, for a few hours, and then
several more hours Sunday. total 8-1/2 hours. Somebody in PVRC mentioned
working coast to coast on 10M, so maybe I missed something Saturday
daytime.  Or maybe a 200-foot doublet does not suffice.

Sometimes working the sporadic-E felt like it was meteor scatter -- talk
fast, or no QSO.
