Although I had my KX3, battery, and logbook with me, it wasn't until after the local clubs coffee meet-up that I decided to give it a try as the numbers looked workable.
The propagation numbers were: SFI=151, SN=138, A Index=24, and the K Index=3. The bands were very noisy and every one of them had bad QSB. But signals were there.
I started on 40m SSB and first in the log was Elliot KC1WFL. This was a special contact as Elliot is only 6 years old, but a very professional sounding operator. It was great to work him. Only 6 contacts on 40m made it into my log before the band dried up. I then tried 10m and 15m, but had no luck on either of them.
The next 11 contacts were made on 20m SSB. It took a little under an hour to get them in my log, and it was great to get out and activating again. Contacts were made in 15 different Provinces and States.
Hopefully this coming week I'll be able to get out again and get a few more parks in my log book.
Here's todays contact map:
Stay Safe Out There!
