Good Evening,

    I am not used to rooting for a winning team but now the Mariners 
have gotten themselves into first place.  I guess I'll just have to deal 
with it.  I am gradually building up the number of 1500 watt amp 
operators I've worked.  The amps really help when the QSB is the way it 
was today.  S0 one moment to S5 or S6 the next.  Those using their amps 
sound more 'full' if that's the term.  Even when the signal is weak they 
are easier to copy.  But then KW6G checks in running his KX3 at 10 watts 
to a vertical and has the best signal of the day.  It is either 
location, location, location, or a robust connection between fine sets 
of equipment.

    Twenty meters was not very strong while forty had stronger signal 
but deeper QSB.  There was a storm off in the distance crashing out a 
few letters now and then but not causing real problems.  I do wonder 
when I'll hear the easterners again.
