[NLRS] 6 July 2004 144 MHz Es

[Chris Cox, N0UK]

I was a little late to the fray and unfortunately missed the enhancement 
on 222 MHz.  Nevertheless, the following stations were worked on 144 MHz 
from my home in Minneapolis (EN34jv) using 350 watts SSB and a single 
K1FO-12:-

Time	Call	Locator
2322	W4WA	EM84
2322	KE8FD	EM84
2326	N4HN	EM95
2329	W4BCU	EM86
2330	N1GMV	FM05
2334	N1GC	EM95
2342	KD4JRX	FM19
2344	N4XD	FM05
2351	K8OY	EM88
0012	NE4C	FM06
0016	WA1ZMS/4 FM07

This was undoubtedly the biggest 144 MHz Es opening that I have operated 
in since moving Stateside in '86!  Except for W4WA and K8OY who were 
around S5, all signals were at or above S9.  Indeed, I worked W4WA before 
my amplifier had warmed up and I was only running about 5 watts!
