A light turnout tonight, and conditions were average, with a few twists.
Stations at altitude did a bit better this time, with WA6QAK (who now runs
60w) at s9+10. Steve had a couple of nice peaks around 8:30, and engaged
sucessfully on SSB for a minute or two at a time. In fact, he again broke
a local coversation between myself and K6YCV on SSB shortly after 8:30,
and reported hearing Mark during one of the tropo peaks. Mark was running
only 10w, and Steve was off the back of his beam at the time.

Opportunities continue to present themselves to the persistent...
