Personally, spent most of Sunday horizontal, too much fun Saturday to 
spite lack of QSO's..

I only heard one club make a 6m contact about 2 pm cdt by w5eco to a 
Florida location per others, as I could barely copy on my hamstick 
while mobile.

After setting up my NEW M2 HO Loop, reception was better, but believe 
lack of contacts as to not having enough elevation.

The 10m group at BVARC ( KK5W ) was not having much better luck with 
an antenna 60 ft in air (Top of a former TV station remote truck 
fully extended.).

I don't know the Sunday results, sure hope they made a few QSO's..

Most f the activity appeared to be 40 & 20m CW..

Next Year ??????

At least I now have a better antenna..
