[GreenKeys] HoffNet Activities and K4EEG Vacation

[Roy Norris]

Hi Guys,

Well, the new two element vertical dipole array seems to have earned its
spurs.  George, W7TTY in Washington State and I finally connected
tonight, he on CW and me on RTTY !  But the signals were strong enough
for good RTTY copy.  I also got great reports from Gregory in Sacramento
(40 - 50 DB), and from Larry, W0OGH, in Arizona .  Seems like even
though the band was in bad shape today, we were able to make the
distance with good signal reports.

I am shutting down the station for two weeks while I am on vacation.  I
am hopeful that George, W7TTY will pick up in my absence since he now
has a station on 30 meters.  I'll be back with a vengeance in two weeks.
Now I know that a cross country net on 30 meters with low power is a
practical reality, I am really looking forward to more of you getting
stations on and joining in the fun.

Pester George until he starts broadcasting again :)

Thanks to everyone for all the help and the many, many hours of
monitoring and sending signal reports.  It really has made a difference
and I appreciate the help and the support.  See you in 2

Best regards & 73's -- Roy, K4EEG
