I need strong signals from the south east to overcome this noise. Fortunately both IZ8YBS and IK7LMX were very strong (IK7LMX was 59 ++++ here and he gave me a 40db over s9 report). Interestingly I was spotted by SV8PEX (JM99) as "heard weak , I wish I could have worked him for another new one. For me this was a "quality but not quantity" opening (quality openings are those where I work a new locator). This was the 2nd "quality" opening of this season. Let these openings continue throughout the season !!!! 73 Lyn
