We’ve arrived at the end of another month. Half the year has passed. If you consider the 4th of July as being halfway through the summer season, don’t blink, that’s coming up fast. I got back on the paddle this morning. Called CQ on 20 and 30 meters without getting a reply so I started looking for a few POTA stations. Snagged three of them, two on 40 and one on 20 meters. Will be on DX patrol later this evening. Band conditions are a little better, SSN:151 SFI:128 A:8 K:2 - but this perpetual pop-up thunderstorm season is keeping things noisy and I’m unhooking the cables whenever I leave the shack. Tired of that. C’mon autumn!
