Excuses:
– My son was visiting for the weekend
– Beautiful weather outside
– Monaco F1 race, Indy 500
Conditions were entertaining. Great activity from Europe as always. Conditions Sunday morning were better than Sat.
Surprised how easy it was to work Europe on 80m. Must have been low QRN on their end.
Great fun watching the online scoreboard and chasing NR3X and NK7U. Caused me to operate many more hours than I would have without the extra motivation.
40m beam has SWR problem. 15m antenna not rotating. Seems to be something broken every time I get on the air.
