AA8TASA LP ALLWe were supposed to have storms most of this weekend but it turned out that we did not. Conditions pretty good on Friday night and Saturday morning. Saturday evening was noisy and signals sounded watery. Must have been the CME that the Sun shot at us. Sunday was good again. Able to put in less than 10 hours. For my little station, this was an all-time best as far as QSOs and scores. This was a lot of fun and I thank everybody for the calls. Especially thank those who I had trouble digging out of the QRN and QRM. Kenwood TS-590S, barefoot GAP Titan, 16 ft. AGL
