James,
We had very heavy TS noise all night. 160 m was almost impossible and 80 was just plane difficult. FT8 worked on both bands.


TKS for the report,
73,
George

I've been listening for KH8 as it would be ATNO for me.
This morning, KH8/KN4EEI had a great FT8 signal (-5 to about -9 every
period) into Colorado for the 30 minutes I was trying to work him (roughly
1100-1125Z) but didn't seem like they were hearing too well.  They were
answering mostly Japan and answering them many times over before
completing.  I was never heard (or at least responded to)

When they switched to CW on 1.836.5, the signal was very weak, but probably
workable. Unfortunately I have a local birdie *exactly* on 1.836.5 so I was
hearing occasional CW beating with the local carrier but was unable to copy
well enough to call back.  The signal faded completely about an hour before
my local SR (gone about 1230Z)

George, will there be more days there?  Looking forward to trying again if
so!

Tonight (Nov 5) will start on 80 m at 0500 Z. Will QSY to 160 around 0600and 
will stay there for EU at least until 0745. Then probably back to 80after 0745 
for an hour. On 160 again for NA SR around 1100 and then for EUat 1500.
Last night ,just at SS, we had a line of thunderstorms go through withlotsof 
lightning noise. The noise persisted all night until SR. (But, we gotridof the 
generator noise.)
