Comments:
Condx at my start were awful.A line of T-storms to the SE was making so much
noise the AY loop or the beverage were no match. Crashes took out calls and
info every 10 seconds. Finally around midnite the noise settled down and the
band opened to Europe.I was pleased to have several callers from across the
water come to my CQ. Unfortunately there were some I just couldn't copy well
enough to get a callsign and grid. I had one station sign /QRP , but that was
all I cud get. I thot it was IT9xxx/QRP but that may be wrong. It must take a
lot of patience to use 5w on a noisy busy band like last nite ! hihi
Along about 08:30z I went into a COMA and didn't revive til about an hour
later. So I moved to a recliner for a nap before sunrise. The Fone rang at
5:00am CDT and my work wanted me to come in and clear ice and snow we had fall
Saturday evening/night. I work for the road dept so I had no option but go and
miss the morning bunch on the Band. I heard from a friend the condx were a lot
better Sunday morning , go figure.
Hope all had fun with the challenge, see ya next time!
73 Thanks
Mark KI0I
