Band has been very noisy here last week. However, seems quieter this
morning. JA2PJC is 599 at 1500Z (about 45 mins before sunrise). Also
heard VK3QI working another JA about 30 minutes ago.
What is noteworthy, is that normally the JAs are much better on my
dipole. However, this morning, the vertical is holding its own
against the dipole. During some peaks, the vertical was 2 s-units
better.
Assuming the dipole hasn't fallen down (its SWR is okay), this must
mean something is different about the path this morning. Interesting
to note the JA spot from K1ZM as well.
