I also do not get to my radio very often and have been operating psk mostly recently. What I have seen in activity in the evenings is that 20 has been staying open a lot later than previously and the activity on 40 digital has jsut not developed. It would appear that the operators are staying on 20 until tehy shut down. I have made several contacts into the Ukrane at around 5000 miles on the 40 watts and that is on my Butternut vertical hiding in the trees down in the ditch behind my house (the tip of the antenna is about level with my front yard)..
10 has been open the past couple of weeks also (on phone even). 73, de Jim KG0KP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron D'Eau Claire" <[email protected]> To: "'Phil Townsend'" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 9:49 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Sunspots are back??? >I operate only sporadically, but for the past few months my CQ on 20 CW >from > the Oregon coast is often answered by someone in central Asia or Europe > just > about any evening I get on.
