I handed out some points using my backyard station. 75, 40, 20, & 6 meters.

I managed about half a logbook page on 40M over several hours of "light" operating (read: socializing in the shack with my Ops Crue took precedence). Had the 10M setup all ready to go for a friend who's wanting to get into ham radio...and that band was as dead as a mausoleum at midnight all day Saturday. Sunday morning saw a brief Es event open to the LA/MS area but enthusiasm had waned to the "fuggit" point by then.

Got burnt this year. Murphy put the hurt on the effort in spades. Never got OTA till the day after FD but did get to play the next 9 days through the remnants of the horrible propagation. 20 proved fun last weekend with the 13 colonies thing going on. Was able to QSO with an old friend down near L.A. for a few days in a row which was a nice consolation prize. Also proved the 6m delta loop can at least hear, so maybe it does work after all.
Effin FD anyway. Seems to always get me somehow. I did work CN85ht from a wonderful spot though; not to mention a much overdue and much more needed camping trip with my most excellent yl and the canine contingent. Sorry to have to return, really.
Like that post was...
Moving on, my posts are not helpful
This was my FD, essentially, as well. Down to the camping, but no canine on this trip, as she's gotten far too old, and tends to want to sleep a lot. She can't get more than 1/4 mile down the trail these days, and I'm carrying her back. Not an easy feat with a 90lb dog lol
