Comments:
As 15 was open all night to Europe didn't spend the time
fighting the CW "boinking" on the low bands. The 40 meter
signals had a bongo drum beat which was neat for awhile, but
the echo of each letter was too much work to copy even with
double points. I guess that's why we get double points as
I was hearing everything twice. Checked 160 for any strange
Canadian calls. Didn't have any luck, which is okay as no one
can hear me on topband anyway being in daylight this time of
year. I was hoping for some good ten meter US runs, but didn't
happen. Why is it I can hear HC8N s-9+ on ten and not another
signal? What is it about that strange island that they can
propagate RF to the arctic on a dead 28 Mhz band when no one
else can? Maybe it's all that turtle soup they eat. I need to
get some of that stuff!
