I was hoping to test out my antenna. Saturday evening, I had a brief moment to stop by the radio for a listen. Several stations, quite loud. Figured I would arise early for the morning group. There was no morning group, even before 5am Mountain time. One fellow calling CQ AA. Oh well, I got the SWR down prepping for it.

Five hours later with a stunning 12 contacts in the logs WD5R was still 20 over S9.?? Several weak, fluttering signals were being heard with occasional bursts of dits and dahs from meteor trails.? It was an interesting experience and I did not regret spending the time but I think I will wait until fall to spend much time on 160.? Maybe a brief excursion during field day.BTW check out the celestial light show in the western sky just after sunset.? he bright stars you see are Jupiter and Venus.? They will keep getting closer together each evening or the next several days and then begin pulling apart as Venus gradually becomes dimmer.? ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ Topband mailing list [email protected] http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/topband ------------------------------ End of Topband Digest, Vol 150, Issue 15 **************************************** _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
