I have been repairing my beverages this fall and listened for AA7JV in
American Samoa in the morning on Nov 8th. I had a bad birdie on 1822.5
that sounded liked gurgling Scottish bagpipes. but did hear George
fairly well with some QSB. I was not getting through and quit right at
Sunrise as I was off to help with some tower work a few hours away.
This AM I overslept Sunrise. Five hours on the tower with cold temps and
a pretty good wind, chilled me through and through. I was exhausted. I
will try again on Nov 10th at my Sunrise. Signals on the 8th were not so
good here in New England. (or maybe my beverages are still broken?)
