[GCARC] Fwd: ARRL 160 9A/W2HUV SO Unlimited HP

John,
Thanks for being there, although I doubt I could hear you. Conditions to South Jersey were amazingly poor for EU this weekend. Out of over 700 QSOs I only had maybe 3 EU, and those were all coastal like UK, CT, CT3. Just curious, did you hear me or call me? If you did I apologize for not hearing you. I had several callers that may have been EU, but were just so far in the mud I couldn't copy, but they might have been stateside QRPers.

Great on being able to operate the RemoteHam Radio guys station! It's on my to do list, but it certainly offers a great opportunity for you to experience a dxpedition. Of course, go on a regular one sometime, it's a blast (especially to the Caribbean with nice beaches and 151 Rum as a distraction).
