OK, things went from bad to worse in a hurry this morning. Someone pulled the plug around 14:00. Whatever little propagation was present just dropped like a stone, although there was a hint of dawn recovery at 14:15. Nick's DX Fishbarrel showed the identical trend, so nothing local here! What I did here was mostly present from my West directed corner fed loop, and not on the North loop. (I found that one of the inputs on the W loop had come loose yesterday, explaining why it wasn't working for the past few days!). I listened from13:36 to 14:45 or so. SF 136, A 1, K (12:00) 0. No space weather last 24, nor predicted for the next 24 hours. Therefore, nothing indicating anything unusual for propagation, so not very useful this morning. As always, a "6" unless otherwise noted:
LW: 189 (6), 279 (6.5) 529: SQM 7.5 594: 7 level NHK1 early, and slightly recovered at 14:20 747: 6.5 level with +++splatter from 750 at 14:22 774: 8 level NHK2 at 13:54 792, 819 828: NHK2 at 7 level 882, 1008 (wonder if this one is DU as only heard/seen on the West loop and not North loop. ?4TAB or Newstalk ZB?) 1098: 8 level big open carrier at 14:13....identical to Nick's 1287: 7 level JJ at 14:01 and 14:12 1503 1575: almost 7 level, at 14:14. Presumably VOA. That's it for a very poor morning. Note that everyone else had a similar morning. 73s from Victoria.
