Since everybody else is complaining about sunspots...I'll blame my low
production on atmospherics, too. But Murphy came callin' after midnight with
some serious SWR problems on all bands. Later found out it was a defective
switch in the MFJ-989 Tuner. Started off on 10...2 crushing signals from
South Florida, but nothing else.
Gotta get more folks up there...we had a blast on 10 last week for the WRTC.
Left a lot of Q's on the table on 15, too. Worked AA5AU last night around
8:30PM local...but nobody else home.
High Points: ZD8DEZ on 20, GW5NF and S57W calling me on 40, and working all
Dilberts.
Low Points: A lot of F1 action...no response? My breath?
Thanks to AB5KD for starting a great contest tradition. Way to go, Ron!!!
73, Ray
