Haven't been on for a couple of days - the JOTA operation led to chaos,
with the living room (which is the shack), dining room, and garden full
of Guides - Girl Scouts in American. Sunday evening, peace returned, and
FH/DJ2BW appeared. First time heard, good signal, new country.
This morning, no East Coast audible. Bill, K0HA, good signal, peaking to
a good 589 by abt 0615. Think I got DL7DF/HR3 - lost the end - quite a
pile up on 1826. KL7XX also a good 579, and another new country. Heard
ZL4WA calling CQ at 0645, but he didn't come back the first time - no
others calling. He may have come back on the 4th call, but if so he was
too far down in the noise. Someone was heard wkg N6TR, I couldn't hear
Tree, and the same applied to KH6AT, who a GW wkd.
Unfortunate that I need to sleep and go to work. If I could afford to
drop one of those time occupiers, it would help - but I can't!
