Comments:
First time in SP. Grid squares made it very interesting seeing where the
contacts were.
Conditions here were a bust, because a front stalled right near me and starting
around 11 PM local, thunderstorms started training right along the front giving
me 20 over static crashes and a greater general noise level. This made many
routine QSOs and digging out the weak ones difficult. By 12:30 AM local I had
to shut down as the crashes were almost continuous and the storms were too
close. I laid down and only slept off-and-on, as the thunder kepts roaring
until around 5:30 AM. I got back on for an hour around 6:30 AM, and heard a JA,
VK, and KH6, but couldn't work them. So much for an all-nighter on 160.
