Outstanding!

W.VA / CT / WIS / FLA / LOU / NC plus more!!!
Nice activity this morning...worked 8+ states in like 1 hour!!!
Working "Scatter" takes practice and timing...but DAMN FUN when working like today. I know I heard others call me, but tough sometimes to determine direction.
Many times, best to leave antenna position alone, (do not move) as 'scatter" can come from any direction.... Move antenna you can lose path!
All the Best
