HF has been spotty for the past couple weeks. Hope we get some decent Es soon to get the upper bands working again.

I thought you need a huge beam and a kiloton amp in order to do well on these things :P

You do..... for a real contest. Not a lot of competition for the DE QP. ;)

The cocktail isn't the problem, it's that damn umbrella.

That's not an umbrella...it's a Top Band capacitance hat.

If I'm not mistaken, Jim I think this is your drink.

I find it helps the rate to have one 2 minutes in.

Problem with that is shortly thereafter, your cw has the banana boat swing, or worse.

I'm phone-only. Although it's funny to listen to the CW guys on Saturday night when the 5 and 4-landers are really starting to hit the bottle and they sound like they're using a sideswiper on a Great Lakes freighter.
