2010 10 GHz and UP August weekend wrap up #1
Well, it was a great weekend for me other than the rains came in on Saturday afternoon here long the Lake Erie shores.
The rain didn’t start until about noontime EDT in Sterling State Park. From what I can gather is that the Canadian side of Lake Erie got pounded with the rain while the Ohio side got some but not in any amount that ‘dampened ‘ enthusiasm to keep making contacts. Sunday was a different story as it started out overcast then got sunny and then back to overcast then back to sunny skies.
Currently, I have no reports other than from K8JA about how well the trips along the lake shores went. Jack K8JA said he had roughly 30 contacts when we stopped on Sunday afternoon at Sterling State Park. I have 19 contacts on the log sheet for this year which is a improvement of a factor of four compared to the past three years that I have gotten active which is an indication that having your own equipment does help.
I’ll post here as I find out how each side of the lake did.
Now to start planning the September road trip up along Lake Michigan.
Remember all these plans are NOT set in stone until the end of the operating period and could change because of weather, human error, or cats not agreeing to be herded around to their appointed tasks.
