Had to work Saturday afternoon & night, so only limited time to operate. Late Sunday afternoon after I got up, the APRS map looked promising for tropo to the north, so I went out portable to try 2 Meters with K2DRH EN41. Bob was
surprisingly loud at 350 miles on SSB. I should have brought my 432 Quagi along to try that band... Bob called CQ looking southwest on 144.200, but no takers in my area. Later went out portable again after dark at 0130z for a sked
with John, KF0M. WA0ARM EM28 popped up when I called on 144.200 MHz, logged Bill and KF0M EM17 on both 144 and 432 MHz for a double play.
