Some tropo Sunday morning from eastern Kansas to the Chicago, IL area. A cold front came through overnight, temp. was 60 deg F rather than the "usual" 95 deg by 9 am. Note the roll of "duct tape." I used it to secure the yagi to the mast -- the clamp I had was too small.  Worked N2BJ EN61 and W9ZIH EN51 on 432 MHz at over 680 km with 10 watts and a single N6NB Quagi from EM28. Both were very loud on SSB. A nice opening but activity low.
