W6ZE/KE6YHX checked in WB6IXN, W6HHC, WøMEC, KJ6JKA, and K6PAD. IXN had an S8 to 9 noise level and cud not hear MEC, even though Clem was switching between a dipole and a vertical ant. HHC discussed late events with DATV including some talk on using photoshop to print circuit boards. High QRN prevented IXN from hearing JKA or PRD too well.
