Randy AJ4RW and his wife Sherry KD4STW spent the day on Little Talbot

Randy installs the buddipole. They only operated about 4 hours due to power line noise. If a station didn’t have a 59+ signal they had a hard time hearing them. They made a total of about 20 contacts, some were RTTY and they were all USA so no unique calls. The contacts were made on 15 and 20 meters

A tough radio day but these kind of endings bring them back every time.
