Hopefully things turned out ok!
I had one of my daughters lacrosse games to go to and then into NYC to see
Saturday Night Live in the NBC studio so I missed from 6:30pm ET on, which
is prime time. I don't know why but noise on 20m was just horrendous for me
during the day so while I was able to get on the radio, it was deafening. Of
course, at 6:15pm, just before I had to leave for the rest of the contest, I
put the radio on and there was no noise and I could make 5 quick DX contacts
before shutting down.
I think we need a universal pause button so when the bands are great, we can
press it and put life on hold to make contacts!
