On Saturday, I didn’t get to make many contacts or work on any ham radio projects. I went walking in the morning, and in the evening, went to the Tigers’ baseball game. I did, however, manage to work K0AGF, the St. Paul (MN) Radio Club. They were operating a special event station, commemorating their 75th anniversary! I bet there are lots of great stories floating around that club.
On Sunday, we had my wife’s family over, so all morning, I was cleaning, vacuuming, and making an apple pie. I did, however, manage to get in an hour or so between 1:30 pm and 2:30 pm. I first tuned around a bit on 20m, and didn’t really hear much, so I switched to 40m. On 40m, I heard even less, so I switched back to 20.
On 20m, I ran across the Washington State Salmon Run, their version of a QSO party. The signals weren’t that great, but I did manage to work 16 stations in nine different counties over the course of that hour, for a score of 16 x 4 x9, or 576. Based on last year’s scores, though, that doesn’t look like anywhere near enough to be the high scorer from the state of Michigan.
