Comments:
Weather was near-perfect but a little on the warm side. Conditions were
very poor. I can often hear the K3SIW beacons through 3456 MHz from the
hilltop I was on but could just barely hear the 903 beacon in the noise on
Saturday. No other beacons heard that day.
At about 8 pm I didn't feel well so I decided to wrap it up around 9.
Went out with a bang when I worked W9ZIH through 10 GHz for my final
QSO's.
There were hordes of Rovers out but I could barely hear them.
Looking forward to September.
73, Zack W9SZ
