Nice! Propagation was fluctuating here. I lost two stations before the finishing QSL. Have a 13 element, but only at 25 feet. No amp, just 20 watts with a FT-991A. Glad you guys put the notice on the reflector.

I have to laugh.

I took down my 6el 2m at 50ft last fall.

Now I only have a 4 ele x pol SAT antenna on my chimney at about 15ft. It's pointed up at about 45deg angle for SAT stuff.

Yet tonight, several east cost stations.. in the log.

75w max.output as well.

What great conditions for those with aluminum and amplifiers.

Hi Vern and Kirk,

Brand new to NLRS. Thanks for the heads up about 2 open on ft8. Got a couple on the East coast and one in Florida.
