Comments:
I was very pleased with the conditions on the higher bands, especially 10, but
one of my neighbors must have gotten some new electronic device (plasma TV???)
because I was hearing S6 noise when beaming west. I fiddled with the radios,
but nothing really helped, so now I'll have to do some investigating...
Never really felt like I got going until ~0000Z when I started running on 80.
About 9-10 o'clock local or so I began hearing some loud background noise; of
course, it ended up being the driving rain storm that went through here then.
The rain brought lots of noise here on 160, but the band was quite productive
and helped my mult total.
Stuff in shack:
2 ea. K3 and P3 hooked to a DX doubler.
ANTS:
C3E @ 45'
190' Extended Zepp @ 50' for 40 (and S&P on 20)
Dipole at 50' for 80
Inverted L with 1 lonely radial for 160
Thanks to all for the Q's.
73 - John, W4AU
