Snip: Ah, the vagaries of propagation! I tuned in to check into the net but I could barely hear net control deep in the noise, and few of the responding stations. I live 80 miles west of one of the California stations that checked in and 80 miles north of he other, but I might as well have been on the back side of the moon.
End snip Hi Lew. All bands and nets suffered from low propagation at this QTH (Oceanside, CA) yesterday. I've noticed though that when Phil points his quad south, the situation improves. Maybe your location offers a similar challenge. With the propagation situation it's hard to differentiate between long period QSB and antenna rotation. In which case, I had a tendency to move on. But lately I have been able to wait and catch Phil's signal when he swings south. The CW nets also were too noisy for me to use, but then again I have a stealth wire antenna. Also, I doubt that Kevin can rotate his 40 M ant!
