   Hi All...

Yes tropo! I was going to remove that word from my vocabulary here in 
EN58ij... hihi...  I was on the edge of it most of the time but had good 
sigs on 144 and 432. Conditions favoured mostly to the south and 
south-south-west.  I logged  EN22,28,33,35,36,41,45,50,51,52,56 & 66, 
EM06 & 28.    Best DX was KB0HH in EM06 Oklahoma on 144 and 432, for a 
best distance of 915 miles.  An interesting 144 contact was with Jon 
N0JK near Lawrence, KS EM28 who had a 7 ele. M2 antenna on a short pole 
planted in the ground in a field. using only his FT-897.  N4PZ and W9ZIH 
both had booming signals on 432 Monday morning and during the 432 net in 
the evening.  Thanks to all that called and tried to make contact.  I 
hope the tropo gods bring us another round of this propagation.....

73,  Fast Eddie VE3KRP
