100W, wire loop & dipole in trees
First two hours nothing but locals. N9BCA @2001Z was the first signal to bounce
off of the E layer at me. Worked a few others in that area along with ZF2EZ and
6Y5WJ, followed by about two more hours of nothing, then signals from several
different directions in and out for several hours -- mostly out, some in
mid-QSO which was frustrating. It was apparent from the spot maps that my area
was catching the edges of the openings -- it looked much better a couple
hundred miles north.
Sunday morning, the tables turned and we got some better Es lovin' down at the
lower latitudes. Worked up and down the East Coast from NH to FL between about
1200-1600Z. This opening started to progress west into W8 but by 1630Z the
proverbial fat lady had sung and she didn't come back for an encore. 73,
