Hi Gayle:
My name is Leslie, ad5wb.I was on site with the Elissa.
I am sorry you could not hear us.Conditions this year were marginal to say the
least.We often went 15 minutes between successful contacts.]
Saturday we were on 40, 20 and 17 phone; and 20 cw.We tried 10 meter phone as
well.Yes the 2 pm net took place but Richmond is a long way for the repeater in
Texas City.Sunday: even with all the storms we were on 20 phone, 20 cw and
took shots at 10 and 17 phone.All said we only had a little over 400 unique
contacts when we shut down Sunday afternoon.
It was not the best of showings for us!

Subject: [BVARC] Museum Ships Weekend
Have been looking forward to Museum Ships weekend for several years now, each
year a disappointment for me...but this year would be better!!! Heard nothing
from the USS Stewart or USS Cavallia on 10 - 20- 40 meters all day Saturday or
Sunday. Bought a new Icom 7300 last week "just for the event". Hoisted my also
new Alpha- Delta DX-EE and my 10 meter Moxon 30 feet in the air...but nothing
from Galveston.... I live in Richmond...maybe I'm too far away for HF from
Galveston??. I did hear a little faint but soon lost USS Lexington and USS New
Jersey Saturday morning on 20 Meters but being a Tech I couldn't contact
them....darn! Saturday around 2 P.M. tried the Ships Net 147.14 did it happen??
I couldn't hear anything there either. Well maybe next year. I did order
today a 10-20-40 long-wire drop my other antennas, thinking I can start it on
my 30 foot push-up mast 2 feet off the edge of my roof and go out from there
getting it away from the building. I have heard 2 good BVARC friends that uses
a long-wire for their HF...maybe they knows something. I did hate missing out
on the fun at Museum Ships weekend again!. 73 All!GayleKF5LVZ
