[Elecraft] CQ WPX CW contest going on right now, through tomorrow; lots of great DX!

[EUGENE GABRY]

Lots of lightning static here in Northern IL on 80 last night. I did hear several EU stations on cqing though, but they never heard me. CS2C was really loud. I' am running Qrp SB on 80m (K3s). My antenna is a 40/80 short Dipole made by Hy-Power Antenna company. The Apex is only 35 sloping down to 15' at the ends. I'll be on again tonight Barry. Maybe we will make a QSO. Worked a lot of 3's last night! Hopefully static crashes will be less, but doubtful. Looks like another storm system just out to my SW heading in just in time for night hours :(


73 Gene, N9TF
