Topband: A midsummer nights contest

[Tim Shoppa]

Huge line of thunderstorms ripped through here in the hour before sundown.

passed, most of houses around me lost power due to down trees and lightning
hits, but I didn't, so I turned on the amp and called CQ. But quickly
realized that I could copy almost none of the callers through the
continuing QRN crashes. For those I did copy, thank you for all the repeats
and fills!!!
