Hi Rick,
In contrast things were not looking up at this QTH. In the first part
of the test we have 2 hours of operation, between 15z and our SR, just
before 17z. In that time I only managed 7 Q's by way of 1 CONUS, 1 KH6,
2 JA, 2 UA, and a VK. Normally during this period I have at least a
handful of W6/W7's. Only K9YC made it into my log. K7RAT didn't even
hear me calling him. Same with C4M, whom I called many many times,
without even a QRZ??
Hope the second half is much better, or I may just opt for an early night!
73, Greg, ZL3IX
