Comments:
Operating from a remote site, Tom's Lake Cabin, in Hiawatha National Forest, at
46° north was considerably different than operating 250 miles or so south.
Propagation wasn't nearly as good as previously. It could have been because
the place is not a "prominence" - i.e. probably negative height above
average terrain, though the hills were gentle and the cabin is on a knoll above
the lake. I didn't look carefully at a topo map. The antenna was better than
normal, maybe a bit high for 40 - being about 70 feet AGL.
Never got a "real" run going, though there were a few spurts from
time to time of 5 to 10 in a row.
Bob, KD8HNF asked to join me, and his help was essential to the setup. Bob set
up his rig in the other room, and operated a second station, mainly SSB.
If anyone missed SCHOolcraft this year, it wasn't because we weren't there!
Thanks to the organizers of MIQP. What a blast!
