Comments:
No sunspots, low wires, 100w, ssb contest on the wrong part of the continent.
What could go wrong?
Started late.
I was hoping for some 10m action as 6 & 10 had been open along the Atlantic
Seaboard for hours in the late morning/early afternoon. Looked up from a job I
was doing in the garage, saw the time, ran upstairs, but I needn't have bothered
to be hurry.
10m was dead
15m wasn't much better.
20m signals were all about s1-2
Gave up after 33 minutes.
Took a few hour break. Came back at 7 pm or so later on , got on 40m, but even
40m signals were mostly weak. Piddled around for 45-50 minutes on 40m and then
80m and went back to the TV.
Everything is slathered in ice here today from 15 hours of freezing rain.
CU (all of a sudden) in the next one.
