Awoke this AM at 4AM so brewed up the coffee and made a trip to the shack, was hoping to work VK9HR, not a peep of any signals on the "normal" band, noticed a Blurb on the scope way up the band, thinking it was a Japanese fishing boat as usual I tuned up to 1840 and there was VK9HR calling cq on SSB., Very nice 59 signal. Did not even warm up the amp, 100 watts and in the log for a new one.
QRN was low also, quiet band. Wont last long as there is rain clouds around this PM. Season is approaching, time to wrap up some antenna work. 73 Merv K9FD/KH6 _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
