Monday was a nice day indeed. My daughter was stayed home from school
sick so I took advantage of the free time away from work to fix my
g5rv and feedline. Once I got it on the air, for the first time in a
couple of months, I quickly worked YX and VR for 2 new ones! Filled
in the day with EU and AS dx. Was quite a nice surprise.

Had to stop over at W3WH's this evening to take a quick look at a problem on
his XYL's computer, and took advantage of the situation afterwards to spend
a little time with his Orion and StepIR. (Personally, I'd have preferred
his Corsair II instead, but you take what you're given when you guest op
sometimes!)
FINALLY worked YX0LIX on 17 and 20 CW. Heard them quite strong on 10, 17,
and 75 phone, but no luck breaking thru the pileups. Was a very nice
frustration relief; I was working in the garage on a computer Friday night,
listening to them on 30 CW coming in 599+30 working one EU station after
another, and no soap breaking that pileup either (which has more to do with
my antenna, which is another story).
Also got ST0RM on 20 for my first Sudan ever, and MU0FAL on 40 CW to fill in
a band slot. Not bad for a few hours work... when you also consider that
Bill I spent over half the time kibbitzing over another matter (our club
is going to be running the Bonus Station in this year's Pa QSO Party, and
even tho it's about 5 months off, there's a LOT of work to do!)
Would have been real nice to get through to one of the VU4AN/VU3xxx stations
I heard briefly on 20 CW, or the ZA on 40, or that A6/OD on 40... but I'm
not complaining! A little gravy never hurts, but I'm very glad for what I
got!
Now if the mortgage broker can just come through with the loan he thinks he
can get, in a few weeks, a real QTH again, and no more having to try and
hide antennas in the back yard away from the next door neighbor brats who
like to cut down wires just for the fun of it!
BTW... anyone else planning on being at Dayton, and if so, interested in an
eyeball? (Hmmm... maybe I'd better rephrase that one; No, I don't mean
buying lunch inside HARA!)
