Topband: A midsummer nights contest

[Art Snapper]

I participated for a couple hours. QRN was very high in S.W. Michigan.  I
found some relief by phasing a BOG with my OCF antenna while  transmitting
on the inv. L.

KV4FZ and HC1PF were copyable, but they couldn't hear my 100W. The
thunderstorms were just south of me, so I probably couldn't overcome the
lightning static.they encountered in my direction.

 Hopefully there will be a 160-capable amp in the shack by fall.
