Hi Kevin and the group I tried to call the ECN tonight. At 23:00 on 14.050 and again on at 02:00 on 7.045. I did not hear any answers although I do have a high noise background living in the City. My P3 said -110 on 20 and -105 on 40. I was running 500 watts from my K line to my Hy-Tower Vertical on both bands.
On 40 I did have a QSO with N6BS after I gave up on the net. I hope you get your storm damaged antenna back up again for next week. 73 and good luck getting your antenna fixed.
