I appreciate everyone that went out today to participate in the contest. The corn was too high at my EM59bc location so I went to the soybean field in EM59bd which is less than 300 meters away from the other site. I worked Harry, WA0CNS and Jim, N5MU this morning! I didn't hear Herbert, AF4JF in EM49 nor did I hear Zack, W9SZ in EM59. Too bad Zack found a rough road that, I am sure, helped devour his exhaust pipe. Tnx for the effort Zack! I heard the WB9PNU/b the entire time I was there. Most of the time it was S-9, but by 10:00 am it was S-2 to S-5 with lots of QSB. Later I went to a cable TV site east of Gillespie, and I was able to hear the beacon, but only S-0. Perhaps tomorrow will be better!
I have published some comments on my own blog site here:
