Comments:
Conditions were as expected not very good. While the A and K indices were
relatively low, low band conditions were still very noisey. Not a sniff of EU
on 80 and just a handful of big guns on 40. While 15m did provide a few
contacts, EU was again silent. There were a couple of surprises on 15, instead
of the normal long N/S paths, there was a few East and West coast contacts
including Alaska.
As expected 20 m was the place to play. Even though the path to EU was open
both days, signals were quite low. Much better path to N and S Africa as well
as JA late in the day. Conditions were just not good enough to exchange a lot
of QTC.
With 60-80 km winds on Sunday, the vertical and dipole were blowing around a
lot. Not to mention the big semifinal football game kept attention off the
radio for a good part of Sunday.
Fun as usual.
See you in SS SSB next week!
