Nothing great here.   Just playing off and on and only have 15 in the 
log, and 11 grids, mostly within 100 miles.  However on 6 meters I was 
able to work a couple of stations in CT, and NP4A in PR.

My 2 meter antenna is only 12 feet high and  10 feet from the house.  On 
2 meter SSB, I've worked CT, MD, NJ, and WV.

It's still fun, but I wish  I would get a nice opening.

73, Steve KW3A
