The gang is hot and heavy on 12 and 10 FT8 at 2000.  Notes from Don, N5DD and Robert, K5PI:

“ 4000 QSOs in the log.  Busy building and erecting the second hex beam, and the 30M vertical with elevated radials. Today will work on the low band vertical and receiving antennas.  FT8 continues to be very fruitful for QSO rate, we are also on CW and SSB will come soon.  So far 17 has been our money band, but also 40, 30, 15, 12, and 10 have been good.  Logs ae being uploaded to ClubLog and M0URX at least daily.  We appreciate the donations that have been coming in; our whole team thanks you! www.kh8t.net<http://www.kh8t.net>.  I Should also mention we are having a steady s3 local noise issue we are trying to track down!  N5DD “.

“We've been busy with antennas, but operating a good bit.  Conditions have been good but we have some power line noise that's pretty tough.  We're not working on antennas today, but all that remains is the 80/160.  We used the 40M vertical list night and are pretty happy with it.  There wasn't room to put up the 40M half square as planned.  Same with the 30M -- it's a single element vertical instead of a half square as planned.  The half square would have only given us 3 dB or so, so it's not a huge loss.

The Europe CW pileups have been intense!  We've got quite a ways to go to meet that demand.

We're talking about doing some SSB after lunch today, probably on 10M.  That would be about 0000Z – Robert, K5PI”
