Schedule is set for another adventure to Cape Lookout, NC over the IOTA weekend.\u00c2 The plan for operation is going to be a very relaxed approach, depending on the WX and radio conditions.\u00c2 Activity will be condensed to mostly Saturday, but maybe some POTA calls Friday night or Sunday morning.\u00c2 Probably will have only 40\/20\/15\/10, and forego 80m.\u00c2 Probably not worth the effort to add 80m if 20m stays open into the evening as it did for FD.<\/p>\n
UPDATE, 2022\/08\/29. End of July WX made the event mostly a bust.\u00c2 Decent WX on Friday afternoon on arrival, so antenna set-up went swiftly.\u00c2 The weather deteriorated as evening came on, so the Antenna supports were lowered.\u00c2 Saturday morning brought clouds and lightning.\u00c2 The weather attempted to clear of for a couple of short windows.\u00c2 The final window was in the mid afternoon, just as radio conditions began to show promise.\u00c2 Lightning soon returned along with a couple of driving rainstorms early Saturday evening.<\/p>\n
The QSO total never grew to useful levels, and the na-067 mult was scarce from the w4kaz op. 37 QSOs total, all on SSB.<\/p>\n
