Eh, it happens. Not any local traffic, and with a big sloppy cold front blowing through, no tropoducting either. Didn't get to go to the woods with my shiny new 6m slim jim, had to stay home and operate on 2m & 70cm. After-action commiseration here at QRZ's VHF forum.
Not all is lost however. Next weekend is Winter Field Day, and the weather looks like a GO. The plan is to car camp at Wright's Lake near Sumatra FL; zoomable map here, scroll down a bit. Yes, the 6m slim jim will gets its debut there. Haven't quite decided on the other hardware to take, haven't even decided on QRO or QRP.
Cold. Just... not that cold. Definitely getting up near I-10 though.
