WA5WCP/7 Utah 1296/2304 MHz

In addition to no sleep, Paul is now having some tracking issues and can
not find the moon. It is overcast and a little bit of rain is falling.
Because of the way he had to position the trailer, his stops are in a
different place than at home and his last location...so the bottom line
is that the Utah operation is over. He apologizes but he needs some rest
before he makes any sense of what is wrong so that when he again gets
set up in Idaho, he won't have similar problems.

We beleiev he is having some trouble with either the 2304 directional
coupler and/or feedline so these things also need to be looked into but
the most important item is the tracking. Paul appreciates everyone's
patience while he sorts through the problems. He hopes to be on in Idaho
Sept 4 Zulu per the original plan.
