Bill, Sorry u having trouble finding hams to work. One other thing to keep in mind (not only you Bill but others) is on any given evening, some % of ops this time of year are QRT because of wx. For example I'm shut down right now because thunderstorms moving through tonight. & you don't have to be right under them--QRN from them will make operating miserable for any ham within a few hundred miles of one depending on time of day. Anyway welcome to AM Bill you will find as I have that it is a lot of fun and all the ops are great people.
