Katrina 10th Anniversary Special Event Stations

The event started at 00:00z Wednesday, but it runs through Sept. 2 so you have plenty of time to log them all:

Got a few tonight but a lot of QRN on 20,40, and 80 I will try again tomorrow.

Glad to hear it. I'm so close by that nearly all of the HF traffic is skipping over me, but I can easily hear the pile-ups coming in. The people putting on this SES are getting onto the 2m repeaters so that some of the local folks can log a few too, and that's much appreciated. So far, I've bagged three without any trouble.

I think I contacted maybe 6? Got one tonight then I hear him say only three minutes left so needless to say I didn't get my clean sweep and I think band conditions were better tonight. As far as QSL cards go will they let us get one anyway even if we didn't contact all fourteen I think?

It's hard to tell from the log/qsl page ( Page 9), but yeah, it seems likely.

FWIW I bagged 5, including two HF's operating on 40 & 80m. The other 3 were via 2m repeaters. Definitely an anniversary worth marking, I'm glad these folks put on this SES, and I hope they do it again next year.
