Logs from Newfoundland, Sept. 20-28, another excellent weeke

[newfoundland dxer]

Hi everyone:

I had only a few logs early in the week, mostly because I am now working late Monday to Thursday nights. I really miss LHH now. They were my nightly dose of Europirate when I work late.

The weekend, however, was fantastic. Conditions were extemely good. There were 19 metre daytime tests by Cupid and Channel Z, Sunday morning shows from the US, and the earliest afternoon receptions since March or April. There was someone to listen to almost all weekend!

Many new stations this week included Voice of Revenge, Baggerteam, Sonic, Technischeman, Central, Pluto and Rob 007. Thanks to all the ops who make this such a fun weekend, and thanks in particular to Pacman, who helped me sort out the QSO stations on 76m Sunday.
