[NLRS] Quick report 10GHz, wkend 1

[Donn Baker]

What _I_ want to know is, WHO invited Murphy's cousin on this trip ?

Weather was not good at Great Sand Bay, but bearable.  Actually things went
OK, although Qs were a bit harder than they should have been until
afternoon.  Sunday morning was NOT good.  Raining.  Set up on Eagle River
Beach (about 5mi N of the rest of the group) with KD0JI.  Looked for
VE3KRP... nothing.  Looked for the North Shore group... nothing.  Looked
for my weak signal source... nothing.  Looked for Tony (at ~15 ft.) NOTHING
!!  *(&#$

OK, had the second system with me, although it had only been put together
Wednesday night before I left.  Got it going... received great!  Did
transmit.  The folks with me heard me OK, but nobody else.  Great. Two
systems: one talks, the OTHER one listens.  Tried the first system again...
this time it receives, but with reduced sensitivity.  Hey, its better than
nothing.  Finished the day making the Qs I could with that.

Haven't had a chance to troubleshoot either system and won't until next
week.  (Will be gone Thursday-Sunday.)

One request... The Grand Marais site came ut as EN47ur, and not EN47tr.
The Lat/Long I was given (47* 841N/90* 20.0W) DOES translate to EN47tr, so
I NEED THE LAT/LON where you operated from, please.  Its a -6.2km
difference to GSB, and -6.1 km to Sunset Bay Beach.

Partial score:
	Qs	Calls	DX Pts	
2003	216	17	45,200
2004	115	22	25,681

Oh, well.
