Two were trimmed out to try and makeup time (mercer/darke). We were back on time for a while but detours/construction put us behind again.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;">Conditions were... interesting.

Chrysler minivan with Hamsticks for 20m, 40m and 80m on a home-made mount on top the van. Kenwood TS590. My own logging software. (We use the 590 over the K3 as my K3's don't have antenna tuners and the 590 works well. Using the K3 would not put any more q's in the log)</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>cw<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>ssb</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;">80m<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>110<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>1</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;">40m<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>226<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>28</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;">20m<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>143<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>17</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;">mult<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>73<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>31</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;">525 * 104 = 104,416</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;">Thanks to all who worked us.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;">73, Tim K9TM</span></font></div></body></html>
