Logs, September 29

Hi everyone:

Work commitments are still keeping me from listening as much as I would like, so tonight was quite enjoyable.  Conditions were good, but a bit noisy.  There were a few low power stations that I just couldn't pull out of the noise on 48 m, but the higher bands were surprisingly good.
