WB9PNU/b from EM59ji
Panaroma of Ohlman Cemetery Hill, EM59ji
Sunday 18 August. Once again I woke up early to make the 45 mile trek to Ohlman Hill Cemetery in EM59ji. This is a great microwave location. I will attempt to post some videos of my visit there over the weekend. Today the WB9PNU/b was again roaring in to my hilltop location. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to work Jim, N5MU at EM48sq today nor was he able to hear me. I tried working Ron, W9ZIH, but we weren't able to hear each other. It started to look a bit glum. However at 14:00Z I was able to make a two-way with Bob, WA5YWC in EN52sa (192 miles)! Debbie, KC9ULA and I again tried to work Jim, N5MU who moved to a different end of theEM48sq location . Again no luck. By this time the WB9PNU/b was able to be heard, but it was only a S-0. Debbie and I went to lunch while Bob moved to EN51xr. When Debbie and I returned to the cemetery we worked Bob at 18:00Z a distance of 175 miles. I was also still able to copy the WB9PNU/b at S-0! Wow what a great microwave day! Tnx to Bob and his buddy for driving all the way from Dallas, TX to be a part of this contest! In fact a big tnx to everyone who participated!
