Stopped by IHOP for breakfast. Arrived Balloon Fiesta Park a little before 4am. Traffic into the park was heavier than Wednesday morning. Was able to get about the same parking spot. Had to wait for the gate opening. Headed over to the tent and opened it up.
Soon, Frank arrived. Little bit after was our committee chairman walked in. Set up the station, prepared to be on the air and meet our public.
Winds were just too high for balloon launch until about 8:45. I spent some time tuning through 7 M and 20 , but no much activity. Was at hoping at least to find some action on the county Hunter's Net. No luck. When the sky lightened up, I noticed another antenna (dipole), looking for perhaps 75/80M. We checked into a local 2M net.
Thinking it would be a short launch window, we packed up the station to beat the traffic leaving the park. There will be another crew at the fiesta this afternoon. Tomorrow (Sunday) morning I will be back for the last half day of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta..
Thanks to an "expert" on the blogger help blog, I was able to re-post the Saturday report. From the help blog, it looks like a lot of people had problems with blogger.
