Comments:
Ugh! Our lowest January score in over a decade from the W3SO (FN00)
mountain-top. Incredible frequency dependent (power line?) noise wiped out 6
meters all weekend. Several other WPA stations have commented on the noise, so
it appears to have been rather wide-spread, perhaps due to the cold (it was 12F
Sunday night) and very high winds.
At least a dozen or so stations worked on 144, 222, and 432, could not be heard
on 50. A brief Es opening on Saturday, around 20:00Z yielded DM93, EM18, and
EM31, and again on Sunday (Monday, 00:30Z) produced EM50, EM60, and EM70.
Thanks to all who put up with our constant requests for repeats.
