Comments:
Patience is a virtue in this one. Considering the bottom of the cycle and the
active solar conditions, it wasn't that bad.
Friday night was very slow. Few strong signals, but worked a few mults out
west.
Saturday morning was the best DX opening from here, worked lots of SA, heard
but couldn't get through the LZ0 pile. Took a couple of hours out for W9JJC's
gradeschool basketball game. Around 1800, the band opened up to the west coast
a bit, and worked a couple of ZL's just before the band crashed at 2100. About
0030, things opened up to mainly GA and FL, but had a steady run until about
0230. Sunday morning was not as good for DX, but had a pipeline to GA. The
afternoon opening to the west coast was much better than Saturday, with a
couple of 40 over signals. It's amazing how the east coast opens up for us here
in the midwest when everyone swings their beams around towards the west coast.
Had a nice run with equal callers from out west and from W2. Later in the
afternoon had a pipeline to the MD/VA area before the band shut down for good
at 2300.
Thanks for all the QSO's. Enjoy the holidays, and I'll see you in the Stew.
