November DX from Profile Falls
November 2016

Judy and I drove over to Bristol this morning and walked from Profile Falls
down to a field along the Pemigewasset River. I worked Bulgaria, Madeira Island,
Portugal, and 4 stations from the Czech Republic in the OK-OM contest.



It was a beautiful sunny morning, but cold... not much over 40F. I tossed my wire over a tree alongside
the river and set up the KX3 on a picnic table provided by the Corps of Engineers.

I started out on 20 meters and heard plenty of loud signals... most of them were in the OK-OM contest.



I only operated about 10 minutes. Even though I was wearing fingerless mitts, my hands got pretty cold.

Here's my log:

It was wonderful to get out, but a sharp reminder that colder weather is ahead and I need to bring
the Morse Muff (http://www.w1pid.com/articles/morse_muff.html) and a hand warmer.
