No joy on the VU4 yet but we did see a herd of bison and elk yesterday.  I
had a nice conversation with my grandson about FT8 and how radio waves
travel through space.  Today we will have lunch at Paul’s Deen’s
restaurant.

2.7 watts and a 48 inch antenna may prove to be insufficient, even if I
have time to try it :)
