I did not make the log but they were
booming in here last night, their SR. My
160 came down 8-10 days ago and my spud
launcher was broken & I wasn't able to get
it repaired & the wire back up till
yesterday evening, so I only had the one
shot at them. But they were coming in a
true S8 on the K3s & HI-Z circle 8.
Next time!
