Re: [BVARC] 2m Opening.

2021-04-27 Thread Jonathan Guthrie via BVARC

You can tell that 2m is open if you listen to FM broadcast in the 
morning and nearby stations that usually come in strong are getting 
interfered with by more distant stations.  It's a sign of tropo ducting, 
and no it's not limited to just SSB and CW.  I've been meaning to try my 
new 6m antenna, but I've been too lazy to set it up in the mornings.

I used two stacked loops (horizontal) about 25 feet up.

 The bottom portion of the band is ssb, thats where the contacts I made were 
(144.74 and 144.200 and there abouts). FT8 is down there too, they both use 
USB. I did not try the FM portion of the band, but it should have been open as 
well.
I used two stacked loops (horizontal) about 25 feet up.

2 meter FM has been exceptional during the hours right before sunrise to
about 10AM or so.  I personally heard repeaters all the way from Dallas to
San Antonio.  I had a simplex contact in Winnie as well and several others
in that general area too.  Monty Weeks KI5JML
