This past Friday night was the best for short AND long signals on 75 that I've seen in several months. No problem talking to locals in AR, TX, OK and at the same time KL7OF in WA, New England, CA, etc.. I had big hopes for Sat night but - nope... back to long skip only. I've been off the air for 5yrs. I don't remember it being this way back then except very infrequently. Sunspot minimum, I guess... Very disappointing.
Have you guys in the N.E., East & West coasts had the same lack of short skip on 75 after dark? 73', KA5MIR On 11/26/06, Mike Duke, K5XU <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
at 4:45 PM central time, Dave, W9AD is stronger into my Mississippi qth on 3885 than he usually is on 20 meters during the summer. While I don't do S meter readings, that translates into a pretty much totally quieting signal. It will be interesting (or perhaps frustrating do some) to see where the band goes over the next few hours. Mike Duke, K5XU American Council of Blind Radio Amateurs
