    Do I detect a note of sarcasm there, bunky?

    In any event, if you want to talk about this, let's not hijack this thread. Create a new one, please.

The bands are all but dead here at the moment. Absolutely terrible conditions this cycle, im working stuff, but its been a dud so far.


    Kind of a bummer. Theres still 6 days left, hopefully i can catch them in the open before the masses and lids decend on them.
    It's sort of like retail stores....location, location, location. This cycle hasn't been stellar, but I've put 13 all time new ones in the log since putting an antenna up in late January.

    Ah, Steve, I hate to tell you this...

    Finally got them tonight. 15 CW right before UTC midnight, 20 CW shortly thereafter.

    No jammers tonight, at least not when I was on. Pileups had thinned out. In fact, I worked them twice on 20... the first time, I accidentally dropped a dit on my call, and I couldn't get them to correct it, but I got them again a few minutes later.

    Now, I do have to admit that I wasn't at my shack. I was over at Bill W3WH's, helping him recover his laptop data, and he had his K3 on. He got them for the first time yesterday, and picked up a few more band slots today, so what the heck. The good news is, I have a witness! I think he was more thrilled about it than I was!

    Hang in there.
