Due to some unfortunate circumstances, I wasn't able to use my remote site in the Antelope Valley, so instead I operated from my city lot QTH in Tujunga, CA. Put in about 1 hour Saturday night (05 - 06 UTC) and 2 hours Sunday morning (13 - 15 UTC). Best DX were two 19 point JAs Sunday morning. Despite the heavy rain here which I was hoping would enhance my ground conductivity, I still seem to be pretty PW from the Tujunga QTH. DX heard but not worked (not for lack of trying)were: P40TA, CE1/K7CA, KV4FZ, JT1CO, BW2/KU1CW, and JA0FVU. Still I am always gratified when anyone hears me from this real estate
challenged QTH, and at the very least I am glad to hand out a few points to those whose score will appear much higher on the results page than mine.
