Hello fellow top-banders.
After a few hours, the first night, I got so disgusted with the chemical
plant noise, that I called quit and went to bed at 00:00z.
The second night though, I felt so bad about it, that I stayd up somehwat
longer, until 03:00Z. Thanks to the 200 W's who had the patience in waiting
until I pulled their call through. I managed to work one W7 in AZ, plus
N7JW (Utah), a bunch od Colorado stations but nothing from Cal or far West
W7. I understand though that propagation was better the first night.
Anyhow, I wanted to give out some points. In 17 hours I made 830 Q's, good
for approx 500 K points, half of what it should really be. I'll send in the
log as a check log this year.
Sorry for those who called, and who I could not copy. Trying to work you
guys looking right into an S7 (on the TX vertical) noise source is not
really funny. But I'm working on it. Thanks for your patience!
Wonder how the signal was compared to OT8U and OT8L, who were the 2 other
stations on from Belgium.
