Comments:
Original plan was to operate 15m SB from VE6JY but on Friday the temperature out
in Lamont was near -50C with the wind chill. In addition the radiation storm
from the X flare earlier in the week was still causing absorption problems up
here so decided to pass this year. Took a listen on 15m on Friday evening and
it was very mediocre so didn't feel too bad. On Saturday morning 15m was still
fairly poor to Europe so went up to 10m and it seemed much better. Worked a
number of Eu stations during the short European band opening all S&P. The
JA opening in the late afternoon was quite good and could run stations. On
Sunday condx to Eu on 10m were very good for about 2hr. Unfortunately the
opening was very short 1500-1700z. Could hear the EA and G stations for much
longer times but with much weaker signals. Sunday afternoon was quite good to
SA. Almost all contacts were S&P except for a few JA runs. Missed a few
mults that I heard but could not get through the east coast.
Equipment ICOM IC-7600, Antenna 3-ele SteppIR at 48 ft.
