Default [W2LJ] Conditions are marginal

I went out to the Jeep at lunch time to hear what I could hear.

It wasn't much of anything.

The cell phone and DX Cluster showed a few NPOTA stations on the air at the
time. I couldn't hear any of them. I listened for a bit on both 17 and 20
Meters and the signals that I did hear were few and far between. So I began
to call CQ. After about 5 minutes worth on 17 Meters, I moved back to 20
Meters and called there.

In between calls on 14.061 MHz, I heard someone else start to call CQ below
me. It was RA1M/MM. I moved down to 14.060 MHz, called and got an answer.

It was Stepan who was off the coast of Newfoundland.


Not only was he Maritme Mobile, but he was also using a KX3 at 5 Watts, so
it ended up being a 2X QRP KX3 QSO.

Cool!

Stepan was my only catch for the day as it was time to come back into the
office after we finished.

Happy 1st Day of Summer and "Thank You" so much to the first group of
Skeeters to sign up for the 2016 NJQRP Skeeter Hunt! We're only 9 or so
hours into the Summer and we already have 47 intrepid QRPers who have
decided to join in on the fun.


Make sure that you're one of them!
