The local QRM has not gone down but perseverance on both sides paid off yesterday. A decent number of contacts in the three digits were made, including with stations from as far away as Canada, the US, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Uruguay, Brazil, Reunion Isl, and many Australian, European, and Asian stations. The continuous high noise is painful to the ears and I am forced to take short breaks every thirty minutes or so in addition to having to request you to repeat your callsign multiple times. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
