On the 3830 reflector, Andy N2NT asked: "...Anyone for moving the Feb sprint an hour earlier or to 160m? Well, at least till the spots come back..." Interesting ideas, Andy. In the Northern Californi

Even more interesting would be a break down of stations North versus South. East/West is much less significant when it comes to propagation. On the 3830 reflector, Andy N2NT asked: "...Anyone for mov

Bravo, Ted! Succinctly stated, good data, asking the right questions. I favor a test of moving the February Sprint an hour earlier, but keeping the bands as is. Reasoning, chiefly, is that it's a min

No doubt, 20 meters really stunk for everyone last weekend. However, a one time anomaly is not a good reason to change what has worked well for the past 25 years. If you question whether this last Sp

Spoken like a westerner, Steve. 'Ted's data covered 5 years, not just this year - most of the whole downslope of this sunspot cycle. I think they're pretty persuasive. 73, Pete N4ZR _________________

No need to make any changes because we are at the bottom of a cycle that does not want to go up, where conditions on a single band were poor on that day. Look what KA9FOX did QRP with the great 40 an

Okay, Pete. I'll swap. Change the WPX back to 30 hours maximum for single-ops, and the Sprint can be changed to start at 23Z. That will allow the westerner's to be more competitive in WPX, like they

You're almost on the right track, Mike. Look at how the number of east coast entries in the Sprint has gone down compared to west coast entries in the last 20-25 years. The east coast was much more c

Yes, conditions were better in Feb 2008 than Feb 2009, but try comparing the number of 20m qso's for the top scoring western and eastern stations. Not even close. If you go back a little further it d

"But it is not at all an anomaly that 20m closes near sunset at solar minimum. The typical sunset times in Feb are such that the sun has already set for the midwest and east coast at 0000z. Moving th
