Comments:
Didn't plan to operate full time but after a few hours stopping seemed out of
the question... Having some f/b directionality problems with my 4-square that
I haven't resolved but it seems to work pretty well. What I really need is a
salt water marsh nearby - congrats to W1UE and others for big scores.
I had 108 Eu QSOs and worked 265 grids overall. Didn't hear many DX stations I
couldn't work - C4M obviously had lots of Eu QRM, and got a couple of ??? out of
JA3YBK at sunrise but no QSO. Also heard VK6VZ well but no QSO.
Did anyone else hear the "woodpecker"-sounding noise? Sounded a lot like the
Russian radar that used to plague 20m. This one had repetitive clicks about
300/minute but only lasts 75 seconds - came off and on every five minutes are
so almost all night. I know it's been heard elsewhere in W1.
