Good Evening RF burners,
A long weekend is at hand. Field Day is behind us and the bands are in
great shape. 20 meters has been fantastic all week so let's try it again
tomorrow. We may be able to work across the continent to that elusive
Delaware. No, I was unable to find one of them on FD but I did work quite
a number of stations very close: New Jersey (both South and North),
Pennsylvania (East and West), and Maryland. So I know the bands (80, 40,
20 and 15) were all open at one time or another to that area of the
country. But there is always next year.
I hope 40 meters will be as good as it was on FD. That band was simply
packed with operators. Twice I worked two contacts simultaneously. Made
it a bit tough to copy all the info at the same time but practice on the
nets helps a great deal. Now to be able to copy the folks running 50 wpm
or more. I did pass a few ops by simply because I could not piece
together a call from the blur of dits and dahs. But this was my first
long contest experience. I may learn to copy those faster operators given
enough practice.
If your rig is feeling up to the challenge and your fingers are itching
please join us:
Sunday 2300z (Sunday 4pm PDT) 14050 kHz
Monday 0200z (Sunday 7pm PDT) 7045 kHz

Dan.
I'll hear you tomorrow evening,
Kevin. KD5ONS
