He sometimes forgot that his two prize students were already General Class license holders , having upgraded from Technician . Class I know Mr .

First off , I never heard TJ WØEA in Iowa at all . This was not a surprise as Iowa is a tough haul for 80 Meters . I really wasn't expecting to hear TJ at all . What did surprise me was that I didn't hear any of his pursuing Hounds , . either I did manage to get into Lee AA4GA's log . A QSO between Georgia and New Jersey is way more realistic for 80 Meters . But there was a ton of QRM and some pretty loud QRN which made it a bit tougher than it should have been . I got in Lee's log with 11 minutes to go these hunts last 90 minutes .
