Tom,
Sounds like you had a good outing this weekend. I was on a little bit
each evening, but didn't stay up late either night. Did about an hour
early each morning. Mostly S and P. Put 235 in the log, with 38
states, DC, 2 VE provinces and 2 DX. I also worked the ZF2 and HI3CC.
Both the DX stations were worked between 1100 and 1130 UTC Saturday.
Worked as far to the west as California, but never heard anything from
Europe. I may have been on at the wrong time, or just couldn't hear
them if they were there.
The station and Writelog software worked just fine, although I did
have a change in the resonant point of the antenna due to snow Friday
night.
73, Steve KW3A
