Comments:
About normal for my August participation. Thanks to Dave, VE9CB for joining the
small team 'The MCC Boys' to represent the Maritime Contest Club.
Too much going on here in our short summers to make a big effort.
10m was non existent.
15m was on life support.
20m signals barely moved the S-meter early on, but later, W5, 6, 7 reasonable.
40m was noisy and signals unremarkable.
80m was very noisy and signals 'meh'
160m You're kidding, right?
Several T-storms moved through is why all the '?" from me. Sorry about
that. Crashes even on 20m !
Tried out my new A/C in the shack...even though I didn't have to fight amps or
extreme heat, I think I like it.
Had cut 3" off my desk legs, so it's at a better height for 2KB, 2BSIQ
Now the op needs to practice.
