David,
I very much enjoyed our simple QSO last night. Ignore the idiots who are
reduced to being pests. They happen to turn up everywhere.
By the way, the QSO was very useful: I was testing the new 160 m antenna
that we will be taking to KH1. As you may know, the USFWS is limiting us to
verticals with a maximum height of 43 feet. That is not a lot for TB, but I
think I got a decent solution. (I worked a bunch Europeans a few weeks ago
with an earlier version using 700 W.) TKS for the good report! It was
encouraging.

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 !
