Logs, March 9

It was an active day, with good conditions on 48 m.  Not as good on 19 m or mw, but a couple of stations made it through.

It was nice to hear Radio Contact for the first time, with a good signal.  Bluestar Radio had a great signal all night, and his usual great show (it was interesting to hear a call-in listener on the air!).

I was also quite pleased to finally catch a clear ID and announcement from Antonio Radio.  He was one of the first stations I heard, way back in March 2009, and he was nice enough to send me a QSL for a very undetailed report of a very weak reception. (This was before I figured out how to record audio files.)  I have been determined to catch his signal clearly since then.

Thanks to all the operators for the very enjoyable radio.
