Comments:
With college kids home for the holiday and lots of family time commitments this
was not a very good effort. Couldn't convince my family to go out to eat at ten
each night after the good openings at sunset. So I missed "prime time" both
Friday and Saturday nights. Oh well ---But I had fun until line noise got out
of control Sunday afternoon and I quit.
It was fun to hear EU coming through both afternoons as early as 1PM FL time -
but I couldn't work them for several hours with my modest station.
All S&P; CQ's yielded zero results. Unlike several years back when I could run
EU for several hours each night. Called 4L0A a zillion times and not a peep.
Only zone I heard that I didn't work. But I didn't hear a bunch of them- 6 less
than last year. Not sure how much time I logged. I did sleep a lot both
nights!
Rig: same ole IC-746, N3FJP AC Log (Tnx Scott- it works great!) and OCF 80 M
inv vee at 40 ft and a temporary 1/4 wire GP thrown up in front yard tree.
Radials were laid out on the roof, not optimal.
Thanks for digging me out. CU next year I hope. Maybe with a temporay wire
beam or something to bust through a bit better.
