Roger,

I was QRV for awhile, but seem to have attracted someone who hated my guts. I was QRMed while trying to work stations. they put a carrier on top of the stations I tried to work. They QRMed the dx station and were sending false signal reports in hopes of confusing me.   Then they came on and sent me disparaging remarks and called me a "bone head".  I went QRT. I know I am not a great operator, and make mistakes, but who needs that when you are trying to relax and have some innocent fun?   I am starting to sour on the Gentlemen's band moniker. It was quite upsetting.

We had a fair amount of lightning static here, but conditions seemed pretty fair otherwise.  You peaked up pretty loud at times.  I could barely detect 4K6FO last night. He was good copy the night before.  I did not hear any SA stations and I think they were QRV. Each nite is different!

Well conditions seemed pretty good last night . . . my RBN reports were
certainly encouraging from several NA stations - one was even 49 dB over the
noise !

However, there was a distinct lack of activity - I stayed on from 0100Z for
nearly 2 hours, but only worked 9 NA stations.

Nothing like the dozens of stations that came on a few weeks ago when we
started these Wednesdays . . .

Come on guys !
