ARRL 10 GHz and Up Contest, Saturday 17 August Round 1!

A fun day today!  I had a few glitches to overcome such as bad connections on my battery booster.  Gosh does that make a difference between making a Q and not!  From EM49sq I worked Harry, WA0CNS on CW and USB!  I worked Herbert, AF4JF on CW and Armond, KD0PXF on USB!  I later worked Zack, W9SZ from EN50rl.  I tried working Ron, W9ZIH (EN51nv), Garth W0GR (WM38ax) and Jim W9SNR from EN52xr with no luck.  The WB9PNU/b was roaring in the best I've heard it (outside of being next to it in DePaul's parking lot!) with S-9+ signals up until 9:30 am or so.

Perhaps Sunday will be even better with higher humidity levels predicted.
