Found Rich, Gene and Peter sounding great and answered their CQs; ran until the end and was glad to have Mark NX1K answer my CQ. Thanks for the QSOs, friends! Hope to hear you again tomorrow!
Well, tonight was not as good as I hoped. I did make a on-pig QSO early and later was delighted to have Jerry W0WPWE answer my CQ but no more. The RBN showed my signal heard in central Europe and out west. So I tuned to a webSDR in Utah to see if I could hear myself. I couldn't but did hear W0PWE, N3RF and W4NL loud and clear. Thank for the QSOs, friends! 72, Dave
