Yes, I heard you work someone. I moved up a KHz to call CQ and see if I
could work you, but your probably went down instead. Starting at about
0115Z, operating only until 0300Z, I made 102 QSO's. All bands except 10.

When I hit 50 QSO's I pulled the plug. Bands weren't great, lots of
noise and T storms in the area. I had tinkered with the vertical last
week and ran it on 10 and 15 to see if it was working. Worked a few on
10 in the mid west and a number of west coast stations on 15.
I did hear Lloyd a few times on 40 last night, but we were both doing S
and P, so we never crossed paths.
I'll give it another try in the SSB test in 2 weeks.
