Doc,
Sorry I didnt hear ya!! Seems that the band was wide opened for the
first hour. That is when I had to move. First someone started calling
CQ on me, then a VERY loud digital station sent me up to 7.039
It was all over after that. I was doing good too. Had 37 Q's in the
first hour. Only 19 the second. After the QSY, the band must have
opened way up. I spent more time calling CQ than operating. It
was very fun though. There was a lot of QSB. Tried to work K5OI
3 different times but every time I called him, zilch.
Chuck is pretty slick. I heard him start to send his call, then he
hesitated slightly. This cought my attention. He was waiting for the
QRM to stop. When it did, K5FO was the only thing I heard...Bang..
Got me right in the gizzard. Great signal too Chuck ;-))
Think I got 13 TX stations and 10 CA with AZ in 3rd with 7 Q's.
I will post my log as soon as I can.
Many thanks to all!! I had a very nice time playing fox and
hope to do it again one day.
Good luck to all and thanks again!! Happy hunting
72, Scott
