Had gum surgery on Friday and was tired but managed to get on the air QRP for a few hours Saturdaybut could not work many stations from my S4 noise condo Inv. L with a poor radial system. Enjoyed working KA1J who was also QRP and a nice surprise was C6AGU who briefly was ~S8 calling CQ with no takers and responded on the first call and believe it was "spotlighting" , an effect discussed before on this list. PJ2T, KV4FZ, KP4J, and a 4V Haiti station were weak and could not hear my calls. N0NI in IA was the furthest station west and must have great receiving antennas. Thanks to all who picked my 5 watt signal out of the din ! 73, Jim - W1FMR NH

Easy ragchew level. Thanks for the report, Eric. Other than our QSO, the propagation gods were not smiling -- I was shut out last night east of AR, where WD5R heard me. Thanks to AA4V tried to hear me, but didn't. 73, Jim K9YC _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
