Comments:
Friday night and Saturday was a difficult but interesting exercise. At the start
on Friday evening there was Multihop to South America but this rapidly faded and
the band was apparently dead except for short bursts of propagation possibly
related to the Geminid meteor shower. Only CW was possible and then you had to
be quick or the opportunity was gone.
The rest was Sporadic E Propagation mainly North to South. The farthest East I
could work until daylight on Sunday was MS. Saturday daytime was almost all
CW.
On Sunday, in daylight, Sporadic E gave good Phone openings to the North in the
morning and to the Central US and a few East coast states in the afternoon. I
could never raise a FL contact but MT, SD and ID were plentiful.
Friday and Saturday were ugly days but Sunday was fun.
