Comments:
Hoo, boy. Another 1900Z session with horrible conditions for me, mostly
due to
only having a low dipole for an antenna on 20, 15 and 10. I did work
everybody I
could hear on 15 (all 3 of them). Knowing I don't have much of a signal
on 20, I
use the 1900Z sessions for S&P and SO2R practice. When you have a puny
signal that of course means the "P" part of S&P operation doesn't
work so well. The situation is greatly aggravated by not having an
amplifier for
the secondary radio. I've learned my lesson, and the amp for the second
station
is now on order. The only thing that helped salvage an otherwise abysmal
hour
was a QSY to 40 that gave me a decent run for the last 15 minutes.
Thanks to all
For the QSOs and see you next week.
73...
Randy, W8FN
