[NLRS] Wi QSO Party

[Todd Sprinkmann]

  Hello Jon and NLRS'ers,

  I would love to make some 50 and 144 contacts for the WI QSO party but my 
rotor has been dead since mid-Jan.  I have to wait for the cavalry to raise 
the mast/stack and swap out the rotors.  Hopefully that will happen sooner 
than later.

  Did any of you get in on the South American opening on 6 today about 
2200-0100Z today?  LW's, ZP's, CX's and a few others I'm forgetting were 
solid all day into the Southern US, and later this afternoon, I know some 
8's, 9's and (hopefully) some 0's made it.  Most signals were on the DX 
calling freq. of 50.110, but there was some CW below that and a little 
activity on 50.120, as well.

   If I could have had my beam pointing S, I think I'd have stood a decent 
chance.  As it was, I heard some weak accented English on my pair of Par 
Omni loops.  Not enough for a positive ID, but it sure was exciting!

   73,
   Todd  KC9BQA  EN63ao -- 40 north of Milwaukee
