Wouldn't surprise me at all. Here in the northeast, some folks got 3-4 inches of snow last night. Think latitude, friend.
Are they your daughters ? It looks like it's fun for you and the daughters One day I will make contact with you and the girls. FROM JA
It was great to make contact with you during this activation. I remember listening for some time til you came up enough to make contact.
We were struggling with QRM for most of the activation, but we stuck with it and I'm glad you did too. Thanks!
Great you got your family involved in the activation, that's really awesome. If that is an FT891, consider using the message record feature - you'd only have to record your CQ with the designator once and then you just keep hitting the function keys to retransmit the message until you get a contact.
