Here's my Sunday night results for the [K1USN SST](https://www.k1usn.com/sst.html). I love the SST, it's a fun easy way to make contacts and practice first names.

I started on 20 but hopped to 40 once the sun got a little bit lower. Plenty of static crashes on 40 meters tonight with storms all across the midwest.
