Comments:

Another fun expedition to my cabin in Montmorency County combining radio and
morel mushroom hunting. Not a stellar performance this year; spent more time
trying to figure out the odd band conditions than I had planned. Qs and
mults were both down last year but the morel count was up. Compared to my
past couple of years operations, conditions on 20M in the first couple of
hours were not real great but 40M was surprisingly productive during the
daylight hours. Encountered an antenna issue late afternoon that took some
time to resolve given the limited resources at the cabin. 40M and 80M after
dark did not produce the rates I enjoyed in previous years even with my
lower overall Q count and thus being relatively fresh meat. Pretty much
stuck to the SSB/CW mode change recommendations and checking 15M and 10M for
openings. Thanks to the Mad River folks for hosting another great MQP and
see you all next year.
