Comments:
Hoped to do better this year, but pretty much the entire state of Arkansas was covered with heavy clouds, with intermittent rain and some torrential downpours from slow-moving thunderstorms. I had just installed a much better ground system, worked great Saturday evening. But alas, too much QRN Sunday afternoon that was weather related. I had quite a difficult time even hearing some stations, and I'm sure it was the same on their end too. It was still fun to participate. Now to get ready for the RTTY event in August and the CW event in December. Take care, NN5AA Vince
