Well, the 13 Colony Contestors QRM was bad and the 40 Meter band did a nose dive, so Ruth dumped the net after getting all the check ins that she could hear. Better luck next time.

Yesterday I used my QRP radio with the throw up end fed 20m - 40m antenna. On 5w I had a hard time getting into the "13-Colony" stations on either frequency however I did connect with two on 40m as the sun was setting.

I think that goes on for a day or two.
