The Rates At Station #4

The first hour is always the best on 20-Meters Phone. The storm delay didn't help things. The last hour was devoted to helping LARG Youth Operator Blake Gillenwater - KI4OBV make several contacts. For some reason the rates are down from past years with a total of 237 good QSOs. Last year 20-Meters Phone yielded 413 QSOs. Those sunset and post-sunrise rates are typical of band conditions. And 20-Meters Phone really gets loaded during the last two hours.
