Well I had "ants in my pants" for not being on the radio for so long I had to try something. Chatted with a few of the locals and surprised myself with some of the stuff I did work.
K2SZ had a strong 5x5 signal for a few hours steady Sunday morning. I heard K1WHS up in Maine a number of time this weekend on both SSB and CW. Our contact was minimal when I worked him, I hope he heard me a log me. I know there was a lot of repeating my Locator at least on my part. His signal was stronger Sunday at times.
Dan K1BXC was 57. I heard number of other stations weakly that I could not work or get their calls though there was one from NJ who heard my "PI" a number of times but we did not work.
Tomorrow the parts come back from Fluid Motion and I'll start to put the station back together. I hope to be fully operational by the weekend.
Here's the small log I sent in.
