I knew when we picked out the cabin in Wyoming County that the location was very poor.Mountains surrounded us plus 100 foot trees
But had no idea how poor until the contest started.We had computer trouble from the get-go while conditions were decent on 40 meters.After getting that straightened out, we were able to get a few runs on SSB.
What really amazed me was never being able to get stations to call us on 80 meter SSB. Every contactfrom the hollow location was hunted and pecked. But the gratification of stations telling us"Thanks for Wyoming County" was very fulfilling..So Saturday was a tough go and Sunday got worse. Very noisy conditions and long on 40.80 meters was pretty good but very little activity. Sunday afternoon I could barely hear anyone on 40 LSB so decidedto clean the cabin, and head for home.I decided next year to do some roving, unless the weather looks bad, then I will op from home.All and all, I hope we helped a few with Wyoming County73Herb K2LNS
