Comments:
Managed to piece some time on the air between honey-dos. Conditions seemed
spectacularly bad. Although 10m and 15m opened, the distances were relatively
short. 20m didn't open to europe until the mid-afternoon. Normally, we'd have
an european opening on the morning around 1200z or so. Trans-equatorial
propagation on 10m was non-existent Sunday. I don't believe I heard any
africans other than D4C.
Late Sunday afternoon, I managed a pretty good rate on 15m while beaming toward
europe. Unfortunately for me, nearly all the stations were stateside. Curiously,
when I rotated the beam across the US, the rate dropped, and turning back toward
europe restored it.
I expected to end up with about 100K, and was pleased to hang on through 250 K.
