Not seeing anything on 17m or 30m. Will give you one more chance on 40m and 20m. We are about 6 QSOs short of our 200 QSO goal.

The KC9UR Pontoon Portable APE has been spotted thrashing about northeast Indiana preparing to get on the air this Friday afternoon, Aug 25th, and continuing through Sunday morning, Aug 27th. Stan (W9SMR) and I are looking forward to our 5th consecutive APE from beautiful Round Lake, and to reconnecting with hunters of years past as well as working as many new PSKers as possible (last year's contact total exceeded 200). As in previous years, we're offering a custom QSL card and also a nice certificate to the persistent hunters who work us on three or more bands. We will be operating two stations on 80 thru 6 meters, propagation permitting. We'll post updates to this forum when we get on the air.

Good Morning!!
A good day yesterday in spite of questionable propagation. We had 86 QSOs on 20m, 30m, 40m, and 80m. mostly 20m. We already have several 3 Band APE Hunter Certificate winners. Even Matt, "APE in the Boonies", W5MMW/VE3 earned his Cert. Another APE

Starting this morning on 40m and 20m. Look for "KC9UR Pontoon Portable".

As we approach the end of APE here at Round Lake, we will try to fill in some holes from 30m and 17m. I see FT8 on 17m now, so there are some excited particles afloat.
Stan on 17m, 18,100 +2,500 (hopefully avoiding the FT8s)
Bob on 10,140 +2,000Hz
Send us a reply if you need a fill-in on 20m or 40m in order to qualify for your APE Hunter Certificate.
For 6m, I will check DXMaps for Es on the half hour. Nothing seen just now.
We plan to shut down at noon, 1600 UTC.
