- Yes, conditions seemed good last night (had several 35 - 40dB S/N reports from NA stations on RBN) During the night there were several EU stations calling CQ . . . but very few NA stations on the ban

- Hi Roger, I believe your having a big 40 dB S/N report from NH on the RBN is not as telling as what the RBN did not show for you. If you look at the last 100 RBN spots of you last night which was fro

- Hi Roger, I'd hoped to be able to chat this evening, but the QRN is 10 to 20 dB over S9 now. The receive antenna isn't available yet, so I can only listen on the inverted-V TX antenna. But I doubt th
