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
