Hi, I was up early this morning (Tuesday 25th September) and heard W5UN come up on 160m at 0444utc. Though very weak and with deep QSB, he was by far and away the strongest on my K9AY when switched NE and next strongest when switched SE. I'm in IO51, he is in EM19; direct bearing is 296 degrees (WNW), long path is 116 degrees (SSE).
I tried calling (as did a few others) but I think perhaps only SM7BIC worked him. I'm not sure though as condx from my perspective were very marginal becuase of the deep QSB. Local sunrise was at 0625utc today Was he really long path (33428km) or is some other propagation mechanism at play here? -- Regards Cormac, EI4HQ [Cork/UTC] NNNN++++ http://ei4hq.cloudaccess.net http://www.corkharbourweather.ie <http://www.corkharbourweather.ie/> _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
