Title: Daylight on 40.
Post by: N8AFT on July 31, 2011, 07:18:10 AM
 Hi All ; Pleasantly surprised as were others to find the band in good shape on Saturday afternoon well into 5pm est.
I was able to easily work some east coast stations with not much smoke. I also think I heard John KX5JT in a QSO.

thanks lane..my 16yr old son is up for the week..he's gonna do his written part, of his driving test this week, and give me a hand around here...funny...i have a river on my property, and never seem to find the time to do any fishing...it's not that i'm that busy, but other things seem to get in the way...having a large property has it's merits, but it does require attention, as well..

Had the chance to call CQ AM 40 @1815zulu this afternoon and was promptly rewarded with a QSO.  Rupe, w8gp in Jackson, Ohio on 7295. Conditions poor but okay for NVIS.
His Heathkit Cheyenne sounded swell..Thanks Rupe, 73..
