Hi Alex,

Conditions this time of year really are "the pits".  It was very interesting to see the band change as the weeks progressed and the atmosphere changed with the warmer weather.  Having a regular 222 night really shows off this fact. Honestly, there are some times when you start to think that something is broken, but it is just some very deep fading.  When those better days appear, it is a happy time.

I am working on getting some gear back up on the hill.  I am hoping to be on for the next Tuesday.  I walked up there yeaterday. The antenna has survived the winter storms, and the shack looks good. (No mice debris)  I am very happy about that.  I can't wait to start hooking up the gear again!!  CU all next week I hope.

I didn't get home until late and only got on at around 9pm local. I worked:

K1PXE SSB FN31
WZ1V SSB FN31
WB2SIH SSB FN31
WA3EOQ CW FM09

The band seemed to be in lousy shape. All the stations above are usually pretty loud here throughout a QSO, but last night they dropped in the noise and only had their normal signal strength at the peak of QSB. Nothing was heard from the West and North West where I usually can pick up a few stations. Still, it was fun to poke some life into this band. :)
