I look forward to trying a roundtable on a lower band. Junior's signal was
quite loud up here this time; could even hear some back scatter echo on him
when I had my beam to the northeast for a bit. I hope that antenna is
working as well on other bands as it is on 20.
I had a lot of line noise, as well as the QRM from 1.5 KHz below our
frequency. We should be able to do a little better next week.
My brother's call is W6PR.
