Where was everyone ??? watching the ball game?
I was hopeing for more Q's and Grids, but can't complain considering band
conditions. Nice E opening (sporadic) provided contacts into EM40, EM60, EM70,
EM73, EL87 & EL96. A good number in FN and FM. BUT, a BIG hole that includes
FN22, 23, 33, 43 Did everyone vacate those grids ??? (Might have to consider a
grid expidtion to activate one of these, they're getting rare) Also no one
heard from FN14, 41, 42.
Best to the NW was FN04, best to the S was FM19.
The frontal system that was west of me provided the oppertunity to leave the
antenna pointed SW and make most of my contacts. Turn the antenna to the normal
direction and signals would disappear. Shut down at 0240 utc - no more signals
heard for the preceding 25 minutes.
from FM12
total contacts - 42 total grids - 26
Thanks to all who worked me and look for you in the Jan 05 contest. Hope to be
putting our club call (W2ZJ) on the air.
