Dan, what seems to be the type/source of the noise? You've mentioned 'noise' as a problem in previous hunts so what's needed to cure the 'noise'? Pretty sure you can get lots of ideas from the group if the type/source of noise is identified.
Yes, last evening was total chaos. Your sigs were 539 to579 here in NW TN so should have been easy peasy.?

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.
Pete, NO2D

Sorry - did not see this in time. I could tell you were struggling so I doubled up on report-state-name - at about 23-WPM, and it seemed like you got it first try.
GOOD LUCK !!!

No Apologies sir…….?? Things change and you have a life before MAPS too.? Although it is extremely reassuring to see a DOT on the map after a contact, not everyone uses it anyway.? This said, I do appreciate your work on the map and those who do use it.
