Hi Tom,
I am impressed that you got all that stuff together at this time of
year. I was going great guns but then the xyl got covid and then I got
it from her. At first, I tested negative, but a 2nd test was very
positive and I have been in bed for a week. I am really sorry that I
could not be on Tuesday night, but the trek up the hill is just too
strenuous for me right now. I am sure we could have worked as WA1NLG
is very workable here in Mumbo-Jumbo land.
I looked at Good Buddy Ron's list of QSOs for Tuesday night, and the
activity was quite good for December and just a few days away from
Christmas. I always like to eavesdrop on the ON4KST chat page to see
what others were doing around the country. Unfortunately, I could not do
that this time, but in the last few sessions, I saw many attempts at
contacts by midwest and SE stations and that is a great sign too.
Today, I am feeling a bit better and I hope I am getting over this just
in time for the next monster storm!!

P.S.
(Thanks to KA1SUN for finding the yagi, W1FKF for finding the XVRTR,
WA1VEI for putting the mast and antenna up, and the Falmouth Annual
swap-fest raffle for the LMR 400 ! ).
Been away from VHF so long that I have never learned proper use of
ON4KST...
