Comments:

Well, it's not quite the same from home, but it was a lot of fun.  We had
the
traditional major thunderstorm late Saturday afternoon, necessitating
disconnecting the antennas.  It was pretty violent - limbs down all over the
yard.  The antennas stayed up, but the K9AY loop got flattened by a limb.
That
was too bad - when I was able to get back to the radio late Saturday the
QRN was
loud and I missed the K9AY on RX.  Sunday it felt like old times with 10
meters
open.  Nostalgia took hold and I broke out the bug and ran with a Lake Erie
Swing for an hour.  Like Field Days of long ago, but with air
conditioning.  I
spent 2 hours of S&P and working old friends - then started running.  The
rate stayed around 150 as long as I was in the chair.
There was always someone calling - enjoyable.  Missed: ME, AL, KY, NV, UT,
WY,
AK, VI, NL, MB, SK, AB and NT.  Not too bad for a few hours in the chair and
little time on 80.  There were a few of us on 160...SO2R lets me keep an
eye on
160 as a second band.  Six was a real disappointment.  The band was open and
everyone was making a racket on FT8...which I avoided.  One CW and 1 SSB
station
heard.  No answers to CQs. It's sad what's happened to six.  This was my
59th
FD.  Next year I hope to be back out getting a sunburn.  FTdx5000,
