[w9hak]

Even with my radials up for the mowing season WD5R was 579 in southern 
Indiana. Worked about 15 stations mostly 449 with a few 559's nearby.
Running kw into a K6MM vertical with 1 eight foot ground rod.

Five hours later with a stunning 12 contacts in the logs WD5R was still 20 over S9.?? Several weak, fluttering signals were being heard with occasional bursts of dits and dahs from meteor trails.? It was an interesting experience and I did not regret spending the time but I think I will wait until fall to spend much time on 160.? Maybe a brief excursion during field day.BTW check out the celestial light show in the western sky just after sunset.? he bright stars you see are Jupiter and Venus.? They will keep getting closer together each evening or the next several days and then begin pulling apart as Venus gradually becomes dimmer.?
