March Rainscatter Attempt

 Saturday, 27 March:  By 3:15 pm, Ron KO0Z and Toula made the trek to Louisiana, MO, Riverview Park, EM49lk to attempt a rainscatter QSO with Gedas, W8BYA.  A line of T-storms were lining up from MO to Peoria, but the T-storms began to fizzle out over Peoria.  So, Ron and Gedas didn't make a two-way QSO on 10 GHz.  On the way back to St. Peters, a big T-storm over Springfield, IL stayed intact and Ron pulled over near Winfield to attempt a Q with W8BYA.  Regrettably, some of his rig connections broke on the way back home and we lost an opportunity.  Next time!
