Recovery from last year’s lighting hit is almost complete but it has been a huge struggle made even more difficult by my work schedule. Seems they scheduled a late refueling outage that was extra long due to major turbine generator overhauls that reall... Read More

Well, another June has come and gone. Oddly enough, I had no last-minute scramble to repair antenna issues this time around. Bands were only moderately cooperative; netted just under 2 dozen contacts on 6, 2 and 70. Read More

I agree with KE5ZRT, the band conditions weren’t the best today. After an hour or two of butting my head, I ran some errands and got back about 45 minutes before the event was over. I only made 12 contacts, six in the last 45 minutes or so. A comme... Read More
