Hi all,
The other day I reported a great opening on top band. Lots of European,
South America and others. Received 579 to 599 reports
from many of the stations worked.
Some of the emails that I received were interesting.
N7RT who is only 100 miles north of me reported hearing only one European
station. I worked 30.
LA station reported hearing me 30 minutes after his sunrise.
ZL station reported that I was 599 30 minutes before his sunset.
JA's 599 30 minutes before their sunset.
YO station worked for his last state.
G stations for their first Az.
There was a lightning storm at my location between 0100z and 0400z. The band
was noisy during that time. When the storm
moved out the band became very quiet and the DX was worked between 0415z and
0815z. I have heard of the "spot light"
effect but can it be so localized? For such a long period of time?
Happy new year.
73,
Larry
N7DD
