Not a good outing. Took a lightening hit Friday night which took out
the Omni 6, two TVs, a VCR and two phones - no evidence it hit the
tower, and we have underground utilities!. Put in old backup Omni IV
about two hours before contest start. The Friendship Radio Sports
Games in Portland start this week and a few of us got to use the
special event calls. QSL via K7KJ if that's yer thing.
Conditions sucked! For the first few hours I kept looking out the
window to see if the antenna was still connected. 10m had nothing but
spanish speaking CBers. The rate was so bad, I took an hour off and
mowed the lawn. We are experiencing a very electrical summer, the low
bands were noisier than usual. But still it beats drinking beer on
the back porch.
