[MAMS] Enhanced conditions

[Zack Widup]

Well, that's good news! If I'd known about it sooner, I'd have gone out
early to a hill somewhere and tried for a QSO or two.

My 24 GHz transverter did quite well in the contest a couple weeks ago. I
don't have the totals yet but I must've made 15 or 20 QSO's across Lake
Michigan from the Wisconsin side on 24 GHz.

The K9MOT beacon on 2304.015 is down. Pete K9PW didn't know when he'd be
able to get it running again. When it is running, I can usually hear it in
EN50rl. The K9MOT beacons are in EN52wb.
