[RTTY] NAQP K1US

[Jon Harder]

Barely squeaked out 100 QSOs, with short op time and very poor conditions.
My thanks to all who kindly repeated exchanges in the QRN and X-ray
blackout. Maybe we northerners  _are_  being relocated closer to the pole?

100 x 54 = 5400     [Ouch - sorry not much help to the Baud Boys...  8(   ]

Being at the salt water edge may help, as I did have some nice surprises on
40, being called by 9A5W, HA9RU, DL6JZ, PY5XT and IK0HBN.   TA2LE/0 was on
earlier from Kefken Island, but I didn't get his name.  Also very glad to
have my neighbor Bob, NT1V (ex W1VXV)  back on.

Really like my new 870, though its tuner seems more particular about
marginal SWR than the 570 it replaced.  Accordingly started today trimming
the north zepp to get ready for the Russian test.

73 to all,
