OMG, Lee! sounds like your K3 has contracted the dread Ham Flu Virus (close relative to swine flu, but you need to take a test -before-) i'll be happy to take it off your hands for $100... you can send the rig and $100 to...
(smile) seriously though (comedians rule: never say 'seriously' unless you're going to tell another 'joke) propagation is pretty much awful pretty much everywhere. if you don't already use it, N0HBH has a nice little widget that'll give you current conditions (A index, K index, sunspots plus a whole bunch of other info) and 'predicted' band behavior, here: http://www.hamqsl.com/solar.html G4ILO has something similar here: http://www.g4ilo.com/webprop.html and qso.net has a rolling display that shows current F2 max compared the average for the same time of day, here: http://qsonet.com/propadex.html i've grabbed all three and put them on a simple page that i can easily view on my iphone, and i'm happy to share the link http://bit.ly/sun24 like the Beatles sang, "got to admit its getting better... its getting better all the time (it couldn't get no worse)" cheers robin (K9RDG) On 8/31/09, Lee Buller wrote: >Now I am concerned about the performance of my K3.
