Strangest Weather

Settled in, got the cans on and the band seems quiet.  Fire up the N1MM and hope to enjoy a couple hours of pile up before another cup of coffee.  Work a few stations, some stations that I've worked before on other bands (thank you), and all of a sudden the wind kicks up with a blanket of rain that coincides with a huge spike in QRN on the band.   Wipes it out.

So, I will make that second cup of Nescafe  (powdered coffee from the microwave) and see about another band.

Life on LHI.

I realize that early morning my time is ideal for EU so I will try to make that a regular occurrence.  I appreciate the contacts and I'm glad to work EU as well as the SA stations.  I haven't heard many of them.  My vertical is able to Rx SA, I just haven't heard them much.  EU and SA are a priority as well as the NA contacts.   The AS contacts are fairly loud all of the time, which is good.  If I can hear you, I will try to work you, without delay.

Thanks.
