It was rather hot and humid Saturday morning, but conditions got better in the afternoon. In fact, conditions were perfect in the basement station on both days since it is air conditioned ;-) </div><div class="yiv4874571037MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv4874571037MsoNormal"> On Saturday, we operated one station outside, underneath the portico in front of the court house. The antenna was an MFJ "Big Ear" antenna set up in the green area in front of the flag pole. The other station was the FT-2000 in the basement using the folded dipole on the roof, which was operated both days. </div><div class="yiv4874571037MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv4874571037MsoNormal">On Sunday, we moved the upstairs station just inside the courthouse (the 25 degree temperature differential was just too appealing). There was quite a bit of activity on the 6m band to the midwest on Sunday morning. 5 contacts were worked on battery power, to get the alternative power bonus.</div><div class="yiv4874571037MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv4874571037MsoNormal">This was the first time I had operated the courthouse station. It really is a first class setup with the amplifier and band scanner. </div><div class="yiv4874571037MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv4874571037MsoNormal">Thanks to everyone who participated.
