I drove 320 miles to Glenn W0GJ's house and still couldn't
get away from the aurora. We were M-S last year, but went M-M
this year so we could all get some good radio time. Still, with
our northern location, we ran out of DX to work at 8PM Saturday
and all the radios were quiet for almost the whole night.
Plenty of time to look at Glenn's Heard Island momentos,books,
tapes and photos.
The high point was working CT,EA,EA8 on 10M! The low point
was no EU on 80M and only a few on 40M. The true Black Hole is
where you can't work EU on 40M with a full size 3-EL yagi @ 150'!
Glenn's antennas are matched inside by a room full of nice
radios, Alpha's, and Dunestar/Ice/TopTen components. It sure
will be more fun in the coming years!!
