Comments:
I started out using the WA7LNW Skimmer in southern Utah, and ended up on Sunday
afternoon using all of the Skimmers in W6 and W7. Many thanks to everyone
involved with those skimmers and the RBN. I really liked being able to
blacklist a busted call with a right mouse click in N1MM. I listened to some of
the calls that the skimmer got wrong, and can see how it happened. One that
comes to mind was a JO4 whose leading dit was clipped. He kept getting posted
as OO4 in Belgium. After putting him on the blacklist, he was never posted
again.
The 40 meter opening to Europe on Friday night was great. I was even able to
CQ for a while, with my puny 2 el, 54' foot high.
The 20 meter over-the-pole opening on Saturday night was also great. My final
qso on that opening was 9K2, who answered my CQ. Then it was over.
It's too bad the MUF to Europe didn't make it to 10 meters.
There seemed to be quite a few more hams from China this year. That's a great
trend to see.
Rigs:
K3 --> AL-1500 on 10, 20, 80

These same antennas and tower have been up there, virtually unchanged, for 34
years now.
