Hi All. Check out my last blog post at www.kc8qvo.com. I can get Internet access at a certain point on the lake so I can check my e-mails and all. 
 
The bands haven't been too good. I have worked 5 grids on 6m so far but no big openings. I am not sure whats up with that. The other bands have been dead. 
 
When I am monitoring I am on 144.200 and 50.125. Sometimes I put on 432.100 also, but I have to use my 6m all-mode for 6m and then switch to another rig if the band cracks open. So most of the time I just run 6 and 2m (6m on the 857d and 2m on the ts-2000). 
 
Also, I usually have an HF rig monitoring 14.342.5 (the HFPack calling frequency). Feel free to give me a call on there. If I am in the cabin I will jump on. 
 
As always, if you hear me on the air please post on the reflectors!
 
Steve, VE3/KC8QVO
