Description

This contains a hodgepodge of subframes of different lengths and gain levels. All were Ha. The skies were pretty poor with mostly overcast skies and a near full moon. The two things going for me were it was under Bortle 2 skies and about 17F with a slight breeze.  My laptop shut down in the middle of the session and I had to wrap it with a jacket and handwarmer and plug it into my truck (I was at a remote site in rural Oregon)
