[SOC] SOC sprint

[Kevin Rock]

I heard you banging away up here in Oregon.  I was busy working on my 
thesis with my headphones on.  Every once in a while I would scribble down 
some copy as I was writing about antenna patterns learned by my neural 
nets.  It was a strange way to spend a Saturday.  On the one hand I was 
working with theoretical antennas in a computer environment while on the 
other I was listening to the real world with my wire antennas at 60 feet.  
Once this paper is done I'll have more time to work on the air.  Until 
then I listen a lot and work a bit each day.  Sorry I did not make the 
connection between SOC and EQP yesterday or I would have doubled up on a 
few of the EQP/SOC contacts.  I am not sure if I would have gotten through 
to you however.  You were popping out of the noise floor every once in a 
while S3-S5.  The rest of the time you were not copyable.  But I don't 
have a beam so I couldn't grab all of your signal efficiently.
    Until next time,
       Kevin.   KD5ONS
