Back at the hotel. Hot food is 1st order of biz, then transcription/logging. Activated US-5645 on the way back. Had the 1st ten Qs in 7 minutes. Then made another 16 Qs until the battery called it quits. 24 minutes total op time. I'll take it.

Another RS-44 pass where everyone was really weak. Nonetheless, managed to work WA2NDV and (😱😁) G0ABI.

Been raining since I got here but it was light enough to deal with. Not so ATM. If it doesn’t abate, I’m gonna skip JO-97 and hang out in the Jeep for the next RS-44.

Back at the hotel. Activated US-5630 on the way back. What I lacked in grids I made up for in parks in 6 new states. Time to get things broken down and stowed. Fly back to the real world tomorrow. Enjoyed the escape. Looking forward to the next one!

Tnx Mitch Ahrenstorff for the gridline QSO. I needed 64! Copy was startin' to get scratchy and I confess to thinking that this one was gonna get away from me but once I was able to convince you that I wasn't VA7LM, I realised it was OK to exhale. πŸ‘

Tnx Mitch Ahrenstorff for DN78. Another new grid from the rovemeister. I'll take it! Sorry to hear about the rain, though. That can't be good for the humidity!
