K3STXSINGLE-OP HIGHEver since Christmas TERRIBLE QRM, sounds like switching power supply from a nearby neighbor. Now I feel bad for city dwellers who complain about this all the time. Only operated 25 minutes was fresh meat and incredible pileups (for me). Sorry I was such
K3SVASSISTED HIGHPart-time effort. Waited until 0300/0400 looking for EU. Not much Friday evening but Saturday evening opened to central Florida about the best in many moons for me. Picked up close to 100 10 pointers. No receive antennas because of hurricanes but did mana

K4PQCSINGLE-OP QRPLots of fun despite having lots of line noise. I could only work stations that were S-7 or higher. Couldn't run because of the noise. Still, a great contest!
K4ROASSISTED HIGHVery poor conditions to EU first night, followed by very good conditions to EU second night. Quite a contrast from middle Tennessee.
K4WIASSISTED HIGHCompletely forgot about this TEST until Saturday afternoon! Got set up and things got off to a poor start. The band was S7 to 9 with noise and signals all had terrible QSB. Fartherest station was MN and only DX was ZF, XE, HQ and V31. So only end
