After reading all of this, I feel fortunate that I made it in at all.? I could tell Dan was struggling with my call, so I repeated each element twice at about 23-WPM and when done he sent RR.? Later I saw his request for stations to QRS…. But by this time I believed he had me correct in the log.? Dan wasn’t posting to the Fritz-Map, so I’ll have to wait to see if I should have made an insurance contact or if it all came through.

It was a good night for 40m in Far West Texas.? I have some improvements to my antennas in mind, perhaps it will help.? Monoband close-coupled dipole just for 80m, then a fan dipole for 60m – 40m – 30m.

Dan, you were heard here in Parker, CO. at 559 or better throughout the entire hunt.? You may not have been able to hear us, but there was a huge pack of hounds chasing you throughout the night.? Conditions just were not good at your end.? Thanks for sticking in there until the bitter end.? Being in Colorado I had no trouble hearing not only you, but callers all the way out to the east coast.? A very strange night.

I was split for almost an hour with not hardly any success-so simplex was my only. Still calling….

A cacophony of noise with everyone hammering on simplex.. no "up"?? when there were more than enough caller to warrant split.

More like a DXpedition.? Not fun

But thank you for being a fox
