Yay!?
I'm curious to see how my random wire performs on 160. I'll be game provided that I'm not on pain meds from Friday's surgery.?

KE5RS and I had some strong FT8 signals between us, likely on ground wave, with 5 watts the other day.

I would like to participate.???

I'll probably just wake up early Monday morning around 4:00 am as I don't know if I can stay up that late anymore :-)

Yes, that really is my last name.
 

I ran a little beyond our 5 hour window for making contacts, but managed to make 48 on 160m in about 6 hours. And with some help from our Hambuds, got a couple of then on SSB phone and one on CW.

Attached is a map of my contacts during the QSO Party. The wind must have been blowing west to east!
