Hi Randy,
Thanks for the SS QSO. Noise wasn't too bad here on 80, but maybe my
supposedly "new and improved" antenna isn't that improved. Did work a few
on 80 but it seems in years past it was much more crowded. 40 was wall to
wall signals both evenings. Using a contest quality radio (Kenwood
TS950SD) sure does make a contest sound different after years of using low
to mid level radios!
