In past years I’ve operated this from K5KG’s QTH with amps and beams.
Unfortunately George’s QTH got battered by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, so I
operated from the home condo superstation, an 80M OCF up 50 feet or so in the
trees along the condo property line.
 
Conditions were quite good, with good activity. I heard RI several times but out
of sync, and heard very weak AL1G but he couldn’t hear me. But how did I not
work New York? !!

Too many interruptions, they were important interruptions but did keep me out of the chair.
