08/26/2004 | N3AWS I operated mobile from Mayport Naval Base in JAcksonville, FL. Although I planned to be active on Saturday and Sunday, there were severe thunderstorms on Saturday which prevented me from putting up the antenna.

I set up Sunday morning and made a total of 20 contacts, all SSB. There was tremendous QRN. I had three bands available--40, 20, and 15 meters. The rig was an Icom 706 MKIIG at 5 watts. I used Hustler mobile antennas. The computer was my Compaq Presario running QRP Dupe (a nice little freeware program).

Next year I'll be active from Mississippi Section.
