GM All,
I usually sit on the side line and read the postings, but wanted to throw in my
2 cents worth on
this mornings condx. I thought the band would be noisy due to the remnants of
the storm west
of NC, but the band was quiet. I also was able to work a few VK's...four to be
exact. The strongest,
by far, was VK4KW. He peaked around 7:10AM here in NC and was a real 589. I was
able to work
two other VK's last week. Last night I worked the first EU stn of the season,
OK1CF. He was quite
strong, but no other EU stns were head. The setup here is quite simple...a
TS-440S, 100w and a
avg. inverted L, with a four wire CP, all of which are covered over with tall
pines. Sure hope condx
are good for another top band season. Little pistols can have fun too....hi.
