GM all !

So glad the post was of interest & help to others.  Yes ROU was the 
strongest I have ever heard it here in Indiana. I just wish I had my 
loop on line last night !!!!  For me to be listening to voice and music 
on the antenna I was using means the band was red, errr, white hot. My 
loop would have got me an additional 15 dB S/N which means ROU would 
have been armchair copy.

Hope you get your workhorse receiver going soon to enjoy winter prop.

Also, we gotta have a QSO on 10 GHz while we both can ! It would be an 
honor to work you on that band Dex. I am a RS fanatic (and new to uW op, 
3.5 years now) and love working DX via that and ducting.

As an aside Dex, last week I managed to hit a personal goal to work & 
confirm 70 grids (non-EME) on 10 GHz and I just received Ron's KO0Z QSL 
card in the mail so I can take my foot off the gas peddle a little bit. 
Zack is seeing if he can help me fill in the EN40 white box on my grid 
map hi-hi.

Will keep reporting good LW spots as I hear them.....glad there is 
interest (tnx Zack also !). 73

This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
