Hey Mark: Hi Kevin, We live in a dense urban environment also, fortunately a half hour drive can put us in a nice rural setting where the man made noise is lessened considerably. As you tell from the logs it was mainly a north/south path for this session. Mark, Miamisburg, Ohio |

Hey Mark...Sounds like you guys had a good time. What was the weather like ?? Hi Mike, It was a blast. The weather was nice, just a tad chilly. It was clear and sunny with a stiff breeze that made it feel more like the mid forties than the lower fifties of the actually temperature. As the sun started to set just before 8:00 PM local, the temperatures started a fairly rapid drop. Mark |

It's great that the 4 of you got out. As an urbanite who lives in and amongst a lot of RF noise, your trip summary gives me inspiration to do the same when the weather improves a bit. With the little ULRs, the entire DX kit can fit in the the glove compartment! It would probably be an early morning outting here on the West Coast to hopefully catch stations to the east switching to day power/antennae and/or trans-pacific targets.
