Comments:
Supposed to host the multi-multi operation, but was degraded to M/S after many
potential ops cancelled out.
Friday night/Saturday morning was a disaster. 20 and 40 turned very noisy, and
loud signals sounded like buzzsaws. Checked if somehow the RX noise blanker
went haywire, but no....Then someone sent a packet message about a flare. Went
outside, and, lo and behold, through the foggy forest, there was a sizeble
aurora visible - and this is Southern Vermont, not the north shore of Alaska !
( had seen it only once before in 30 years). There was another packet message,
I believe by W1BK, reminding us of the good old days of spark transmission (
way before my time)
Sunday morning, however, was a delight - great signals, an inexhaustible supply
of Europeans, on 10/15/20 and 40, contributing nealy 78% of all our QSOs.
Another thrill was working the 40th zone on 20 meters in the last half hour...
When it comes to fun, CW is the real thing.
