    The unusual propagation made this so much more fun. Late saturday I could work stations only if beaming South West - regardless of where they were. I had a great time. Read More

    Strange conditions! Worked both Hawaii stations, KH7R and KH6ND, but couldn't complete with any California stations! Heard no Europeans, but then again, I had no beverage antennas, either! Had to use the lowly inverted-L for both xmit and receive. Bumm... Read More
