[NLRS] 10 GHz RS tonight, W0ZQ

[W0ZQ at aol.com]

Fun evening.   I set up at the Burnsville site, EN34is, and  worked NT0V 
(EN08oc) at 561 km, KM0T (EN13vc) at 298 km, and VE4MA (EN19lu) at  632 km all 
while point at the same T-storm near Fergus Falls, MN.   My  bearing was about 
310 degrees.   That would have made KM0T on  backscatter, and NT0V & VE4MA on 
forward scatter.   Contacts with  all three were made on CW, then SSB and FM 
with NT0V and KM0T.    Imagine VE4, ND, and IA all on one night on 10368 GHz.    
 
With 10 gig signals a good S9, Mike and I tried on 24 gig with nothing  heard 
either way.   Humidity is high here right now out ahead of the  cold front, 
so perhaps this was an issue at 24 gig. 

Congratulations  to VE4MA and KM0T who also made the path tonight using the 
same  storm.   That one was 754 km by the way !!!   Perhaps the  first VE4 to 
IA 10 gig QSO ?

73, Jon
