[Wswss] Sunday 12/3/2006 23cm Activity

[Ralph Bergman]

Hi Len,

I was on at 09:30 to 09:40 calling CQ north on CW. this AM.
The condition were poor today but yesterday was better. Jim's
beacon was very weak today, to much wind noise from Santa Ana's,
the noise was over S9 on 2mtrs. I could only work Laddy in Apache Jct. AZ
on 432 as noise was only S2 to 3 on 432. We have gust up to 60 and
70mph.
Hope we can work again on 23cm,

73 Ralph
