The band was not good tonight and I had some trouble with Bill W7KXB. He didn't direct Hounds up and took everyone on frequency. He just quit sending several times and I went looking for Dave. I found Dave but he was as weak as day old tea! Went back to Bill and he was back working folks. I slid in about 100 Hz below his frequency and he heard me and we worked.
I went back and Dave had moved up 100 Hz but was almost Q5. I found I could copy him and he was looking up a little. I found the Hounds and slid in under there frequency a little. I called twice and he came back but QSB was at a minimum and I had to guess when he turned it to me. I gave him my numbers and he came back with a QSL and I was done.
