Comments:
Well, Hepburn predicted there would be coastal enhancement Saturday night and
Sunday AM and it was RIGHT!! With low power (barefoot FT991 and DEMI 222
xverter), I worked as far as FM06 (K1ISR)on 2M FT-8 (772 miles) and had several
SSB qso's on 222/432 to FM19 (591 miles to W3IP who was armchair copy)Spent a
lot of time chasing DX on 2M FT-8 and I suspect others were doing that too..
Consequently there wasn't a lot of moving up the bands. My 220 and 432 DX qso's
were scant and mostly a result of using ON4KST chat.. Didn't spend much time on
6, though there was a tiny bit of Eskip Sunday night, but weak and my best DX on
6 was FM19 on cw (K1RZ 554 miles on tropo)! REGARDLESS,.. with 4 band QRP, and
not a lot of hours spent, I had a ball! Thanks to everyone who got on and thanks
to the rovers! - bill K1DY in Maine
