Well it was fun. I'm sorry about the sudden frequency changes but I
moved things around in the shack and my key was too close to the tuning
knob and I kept hitting it and changing the frequency. Lots of noise
tonight but some of your signals nearly knocked my head off - You sure
you were QRP??? Is this what the new cycle will be like but with out the
noise? I sure hope so.
OK - Rig - Kenwood TS-830S at 4.5 Watts into a ground mounted Hy-gain
18AVT/WB-A vertical antenna with one radial (I know but its been a busy
winter). Frequency was 7.112MHz

That was it. For the next hour I called and called. Dropped down to
7.108 but nothing there either. I even tried my G5RV but nothing. K5ON
was really LOUD nearly blew my socks off and all through AB5OU there was
a VOICE QSO going on US Hams too it sounded like - again real loud (the
voice not AB5OU). I could just hear a few more of you but way down in
the mud. Maybe next time - this time was a lot better than its been for
awhile.
Well how did I do.
