Comments:
Where to begin? Condx marginal most of the time, except a peak towards EU an
our or so before their SR. Au condx certainly don't help northern stations.
Will be curious to see if there's any OH/SM/VE8/KL7 entrants !
With my "new" antenna it was hard to attract anyones attn. It's a very low
inverted U,(untermintated) so kinda like a high beverage--hears really well !
Overslept so missed all the sunrise action (DOH!)...recently I am trying a
different tactic for filling in missing bits of my callsign, due to QRN, QSB
etc. When an op sends: VE9? VE9? VE9?, I'll usually reply with "AA AA AA VE9AA
bk"....usually this works perfectly but sometimes they'll reply with "9A 9A 9A
?"....geez, what happened to to the VE part? You had it a minute ago...musta
slipped on the floor. Like I said, it usually works, but sometimes it's a
comedy of what they've done to the parts of my callsign they just had a minute
ago. Ditto the grid square.
Never could get the attn of CN2R who was well over S9 here.
Heard N6RK a long long time, but couldn't get him with my (ahem)beverage.
YO3FFF, DL7CX, UY0ZG and UR7GO all 529-539 for 20 minutes or so but
unobtanium.
G4AMT and EI2CN had the loudest EU signals here for many hours. COngrats !
Big surprise to work PY1NB--thanks for hanging in there.
See u in "The Stew"
