Last night, SWMBO and I were talking about what we could/would do today. She said “I suppose you will want to do an activation”. Sure, my arm was twisted. We went to Gettysburg and got the activation in before it got too hot. Today is supposed to be the last hot and humid day for about a week but I was off today and not tomorrow. We set up and it was bordering on uncomfortable already. It only took us about 4 minutes to get the necessary 10 contacts for a legitimate activation, and we stayed on the air for about 35 minutes. Between the heat/humidity and the constant adjacent QRM we decided to call it a day at 35 contacts. I was happy. As I was tearing down, SWMBO got a chance to walk around and take pics. I had my app on my phone going to record birds and we heard the following: Eastern Wood Pewees, Red-eyed Vireos, Chipping Sparrows, House Finches, American Robins, Mourning Doves, Tufted Titmouses and an Eastern Screech Owl. I think the owl was screeching about the weather. I just saw the forecast for tomorrow and they are calling for a heat index of 104. I thought it was supposed to cool off. No matter, I will be inside in the AC. I was surprised and pleased that there were no negative folks around. The ones who drove up to the hill and walked around pretty much ignored us. Activating during the week has its advantages. So I am going to go take care of some home issues now and say Namaste kids!
