A little over a week ago heartland the next town over had its independence day fireworks early there was a pretty good home show a block away from home we caught on the way back too.

On the actual 4th town of Barnes, Hayward and Duluth all cancelled their fireworks, but we were informed that the next lake down was going to have "3 people privately launching thousands worth of fireworks" that appeared to be the case. Someone also launched a Pontoon boat covered in fireworks off the boat launch we watched from, but he had too many too close together and voiced some worries about it....I think he reconsidered and didn't launch any.

I got my 6M and 10M Heathkits working for the first time last night around 9pm but didn't get anything on those bands. Just some SW on 40 and 80m that one of them covers but my license doesn't allow voice opperation on. 2M was dead too.
