[PaQSO] WW8OH-Day 1- near Columbus, OH -COOKEN ARC -"The COOKEN Contest Animals"

[w3hkk at roadrunner.com]

Fair at best conditions.  A handful of 160m stations, much better on 80, and decent on 40. but 40 was real sloooow  from 2-5pm, partially due to inter-station QRM at between S3 and S7 depending on where we sat. 

The CW station alone is 21 counties shy of a load. but the combined CW-SSB total is nearly 60.   So we have a shot.

Early prop reports were for Sunday to be more disturbed than Sat so.....keeping fingers crossed.

Made nine contacts (replies from) stations all over the South. At least we know the 160M loop at 70 ft is working.
