Howdy Ed,
Rick, KL7CW was my first check in on the 40 meter net yesterday. I
live well south of Seattle. At 0000z the band was open to AK, ND, TX,
NM, ID, WA, and CA. 20 m at 2200z was broken. Lots of noise with not
many signals. I think 40 meters will work well until the time change.
I did hear a few folks talking about 160 meters opening before sunset so
the bands are not what one would think.
GL,
Kevin. KD5ONS

First off all the e-mail in the digest I received at 8:27am on Monday,
Feb. 24 were posted on Saturday, Feb.22. Is it normal for the digest
to wait 48-hours before posting. My email is set for auto-checking
every 30-minutes.
Kevin's CW Net announcement was only 24-hours late by the time I read it.
Not to the topic 80 & 40m SSB Nets:
I tuned in 14.303.5 Sunday at 1800 utc (9am AKST) and band was dead -
nada - no WWV on 15-MHz; not even digital stuff on 14.070. So
obviously did not hear the 20m net. Made me wonder if triband yagi
was broke?
Local Alaskan hams have been saying 80m is good at mid-day and not at
night! Very different than what I used to know. Used to be 40m
daytime/80m nighttime prop.
So maybe 40m might have some propagation > 800 miles??? Seattle is
only 1400 miles away.
I only have a inverted-V and 100w for 40m but may listen March 1st.
