An ARCA club SOAPBOX: Christmas brunch kept me out of the OP chair for several hours. SOAPBOX: Once my business in Alameda was complete, I high-tailed it to W7AYTs SOAPBOX: Concord QTH, to pickup where we left off. SOAPBOX: Except for the semi-frequent internet pulse-dropouts there, SOAPBOX: radio operations were FAR superior. I arrived just in time for SOAPBOX: a 40-meter opening. SOAPBOX: It was nice to work the same stations on multiple bands, confirming SOAPBOX: the efficacy of 85-watts into a 3-el Stepp-IR, 2-el Shorty-40 and SOAPBOX: Inverted Bazooka - all @ 55 up on the hill top. SOAPBOX: While internet hiccups were a PAIN, Nevertheless, SOAPBOX: when everything worked smoothly, it was a LoT of fun. SOAPBOX: After a sleep break, I arose @4am hoping to work Asia, instead being SOAPBOX: greeted by a CW-segment filling RaDaR signal planted EXACTLY @ 7.041 - WTF?!! SOAPBOX: (RoTaTing the Yagi confirmed the signal to be coming from E. Russia, SOAPBOX: or thereabouts.) SOAPBOX: Taking refuge on 20-Meters, it was discovered to be reasonably-open SOAPBOX: to EU, bringing in a few unexpected multipliers - NICE!
