Not much luck tonight -- Randy, WB8ART, and I almost made it but I don't think he ever heard my RRR message.  He was as strong as +01 but faded down to -18 and then disappeared entirely.  I am guessing he just couldn't hear me.

I heard one CQ each from KT8O in EN71 and KD8JQ in EN91, but nothing more.

Happy to try again tomorrow night.  Also wondering if morning might be worth a try?

73,
John

Weather permitting I’ll look for you ~8:30 the next few nights.

Hi --

I'll be in EN75 for another 10 days and haven't yet spent much time

on 2M.  If anyone would like to try for an FT8 contact, I can be on the
air around 8:30 EDT most evenings.

My amp is still dead, so I only have 100W and 12 el beam.  But it

may still be possible to work down to the Dayton area as I heard Jimmy
W8PLZ here a couple of weeks ago.

Anyway, if anyone wants to try a sked, please drop me a line at jra

at febo dot com and we can try just about any evening.
