I ended up with 12 contacts for the whole night not to shabby for 6w ERP from a 7' tall Hi-Q Screwdriver @ 20' w/16 radials ea 13' long.
Out of the 12 contacts, 2 were ~400km, 2 were ~600km, 4 were ~1100km, 1 was ~1700km, and 3 were over 2000km. I basically worked every one I could hear, with the exception of a few (4-5) that I heard answering other folks cq's, but never heard them anywhere calling cq themselves. -- GB & 73 K5OAI Sam Morgan On 6/17/2012 8:15 PM, Jim F. wrote: > I operated about 2 hours in the Stew but enjoyed it to the max. > > Congratulations to the very patient operators ( esp.
