Another good day I think. Not as exciting as the previous two but I worked several pages in the log. I also managed to work 4X1RF. But it was a little weird as he was calling CQ for a good twenty minutes but couldn't hear me I assume for most of that time. We eventually worked but, I nearly gave up I can tell you. The highlight of the day was working OE1UKL at 20:25 - he wasn't in for long though! This was preceded by a opening into 9A at good strength. Nothing from California today however. I spent most of today on CW and that made me realise how rusty I am! It's a good job that I brought the instructions with me to set up the SuperKeyer for beacon mode.

I nearly worked Angelo, I2ADN who came in at good strength but faded before I could get his report. I packed up the beacon at around 18:00 local time and decided to go in search of the Stanley Arms for a beer and to look up Mario, VP8ALJ who lives nearby. Remember that I have a QSL card from Nick 5B4FL with instructions to get a from Mario? Well, I couldn't track Mario down but I had a good evening in the Stanley Arms! It seems that Mario had to go out so I hope that I would be able to see him later in the week. Added countries 4X, S59 and OE.
