I can report from the N5E operation at the tall ship Elissa. We started Saturday morning with a 20m, a 17m, a 10m, a 2m SSB and a 6m station setup.
17m and 20m were our best bands. I made a few contacts on 10m in the late morning, but by lunch the bad was dead and it never did come back to life. We made over 400 Q's on Saturday. On Sunday we exchanged the 10m station for 40m which allowed us to cover 40, 15 and 10. Unfortunately, all three of those bands were dead the entire time that we were out there. 17 and 20 were very difficult in the morning and nearly impossible by afternoon. We began closing down the stations at about 130p. By 3p the entire operation was packed up. This is the exact opposite of last year where we suffered a CME on Saturday, but Sunday had great conditions. All in all, we had a great time. We had great weather. It was a lot of fun. And we played radio all weekend.
