As it is, I spent some hours on 6m today. We had a virtual pipeline to the Sandy Eggo area. I'd say signals were wrapping the S-meter needle - except it's a digital creation and not a real needle.

Sigs stayed that way for a long time; at least an hour. <br /><br />The daily thunderstorm made me shut down or I might still be in there. <br /><br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-81322112978772333842013-06-02T18:20:55.849-07:002013-06-02T18:20:55.849-07:00Sounds like an awesome weekend.
