I'm a bit bummed..... after all this time getting amped up to try and listen in online, I had totally forgot that  my wife had made reservations for us to be out of town camping at Ft. Clinch SP in NE Florida all last week...with no wifi or internet access.



So, I missed out   :(  ....but on the plus side, I got to see the grand-kids have fun at the beach.  :)

Well lit wasn't a bad plan B you had.

The conditions were not great.  I managed to make contact with 30 ships.  We didn't have good F2 skip it was more like sporatic E.  Contacts mostly on 20 meters but I made a few on 40 meters.

I did manage to talk with the people at the HL Hunley in Charleston.  I thought that was cool.

However, the highlight was to finally talk to someone on the USS Missouri using the ship's original discone antenna and wiring.
