[OKDXA] VU7

[Bert Aaron]

Gene,

I would put it on LP. It was easier to hear them LP this a.m. at about 13Z.
and it will probably be 15Z before you can hear them SP. By that time your
rotator may be thawed out. How high is your antenna?

I've strained my ears all day trying to get enough of a signal from them to 
warrant calling them.  I'm starting to think that Oklahoma is in a "black 
hole" when it comes to VU7.  I heard Carmen work them this morning but, as 
luck would have it, my rotator was frozen short path and I think she and 
Bert worked them long path.  I had to wait for the temperature to rise 
enough to thaw my rotator out.
Now I can swing it again but I suppose by tomorrow morning it'll be cold 
enough to freeze it again.  With my luck, if I left it on long path through 
the night then I'd need it short path!  8-(
