Delaware Base Station 808
Hey 828, it was getting late in the evening for me and I was getting ready to put my President George ammo can on charge and then put it away for the night. I heard you call CQ a few times but could not get back to you. Between the big stations and conditions fading in and out, it sure was a mess. My battery voltage was dipping below 12v on modulation, so I know the 203 was struggling. Your station was sounding clean and clear and many times you were the only one I heard. And I heard several stations trying to get back to you too. I will be standing by on 37 most evenings either out in the garage, or portable at my mother-in-law's kitchen table.Currently it's a train wreck on anything over .3650 in between channels and all. Still pulling in some good contacts but it's rough and tough tonight.
@Shadetree Mechanic it's crowded my friend and I just couldn't pull you in all the way. We'll keep trying!

Ps. There is Hurricane Helene in the gulf that is building up right now, might do something for conditions. Everyone down south stay safe!
