[600MRG] QSO's

[Larry]

Last evening started surprisingly good with the VE7SL CW beacon being 
good copy 2 hours before sunset here.

At sunset, a new noise source started up, followed soon after by very 
high QRN. Up until 0400Z when I planned on starting JT9 operations, I 
had not heard a single signal nor seen one in the waterfall display! I 
almost didn't get on because I was sure it would be pointless.

Nevertheless, persistence paid off. Shortly after I started the JT9 CQs, 
signals began to appear in the waterfall display. To make a long story 
somewhat shorter, in between static crashes and QSB, WG2XJM and WG2XXM 
made it into the JT9 Log and WD2XSH/20 was worked on CW.

It's still true: You gotta make calls if you want results!
