[Elecraft] “ELECRAFT NVIS field day”

[Fred Jensen]

I'm about 25 km LOS from W7RN.  W7RN is 30 over S9 here on 160, 10 over 
on 80, about S7 on 40 anytime.  I can barely see it on the P3 [and it's 
QRK2 in the noise on the headphones] on 20, and missing above 20.  K2RD 
in SW Reno is a bit closer, but the same prevails for the ground wave 
for Ira.

73,
