The boys on South Georgia Island have been conspicuously absent today from
the DX Cluster I use (VE7CC). I did see a comment that they were "working
on antennas", which may indicate a reason why it has been so hard to hear
them above 30 meters. I heard them much better from Sandwich, although not
really loud. 30 meters was best for some reason! Anyway, I assumed, and
probably inappropriately, that South Georgia might be a somewhat more
hospitable environment for them and their antennas. Hopefully their absence
today means they recognize some sort of problem, and will be able to fix it.
I only have them on 30 and 20 from South Georgia. The propagation Gods may
be at fault here! Yesterday on both 17 and 15 I could hear just a whisper
from them, but the QSB was so bad I couldn't be sure of much that they sent.
The east coast, mid-west, and Europe seem to be doing a lot better than
some of us here in the hinterlands of the west. Of course, since I don't
have a beam I'm semi-crippled anyway, but usually I do better than this.
