Comments:

Interesting night. I got on about 7:30 with the 'rover station' on a local hilltop. Immediately heard Dave, K1WHS, in FN43 and after getting him to turn his antenna NE, we worked and he was 10 over 9. Spent the next half hour tuning, calling CQ, with not much luck.. at around 8:15 local heard and worked N2SLN in FN22!! that's over 300 miles and signals were S6 both ways on SSB! That was the last station I worked.. hung around for another hour trying but no luck..
 
Did hear WZ1V, W1AW/2, VE2XX and a bunch of signals too weak to pull out full calls. I was running 75 watts and 15 elements.
 
Still it was fun to get on!  bill, K1DY
