Comments:
N6RO & W0YK were conspicuously missing from the NS tonight 'cuz they were at
W6NV's big post-ballgame BBQ I was also going to attend. {SIGH} By the time I
finally got the cat to the vet late afternoon to have her stitches removed from
a cancerous toe amputation, I would have been stuck in computer traffic for
hours in that direction to make the 70+ mile trek to Oliver's.
However, it was kinda fun to be a partially 'rare mult' in the NS tonight :^0
20m sounded dead right before the NS, and then all sorts of signals appeared.
(Note to Howie: check your coax - not the usual big signal from N4AF on either
20m or 40m tonight, but TNX for surprise 80m QSO !!!).
I put up a low 2el wire 40m inverted vee yagi (apex @ 30ft) which seemed to
yield a couple of extra dB this week on the band I usually get creamed on.
Kelly (VE4XT)- you were loud on 40m tonight!!!
There is still a need to S-P-R-E-A-D O-U-T more - on ALL bands. I almost wore
out my F1 key circa 043 & 044 on both 20m & 40m with many unanswered CQ's, so
found myself heading back down into the pile to try and work anyone I could.
I lost a lot of local Q's on 80m (and 160m) tonight since N6RO & W0YK were not
on, but TNX, Mork (K6UFO), for my only CA mult on 80m. Also TNX to DanWAH/K7SS
for the QSY to 80m right after our 40m Q. Heard many in the Midwest & South &
called 'em, but no joy.
Heading off to the big Visalia bash in the morning. I hope a lot of you great
NS'ers will make the trek out next year - it will be the 60th Anniversary
year. Put Visalia on your calendar NOW !!!
73 & TNX for all the QSOs tonight...
Rick, K6VVA * The Locust
