With the nicest weather predicted for a Memorial Day weekend in 20 years, fat
chance that I would be working a daylight band. I had yard work that was
woefully behind thanks to the wettest rainy season ever recorded in the Seattle
area. (Can you say 4 feet of rain?)
Solution... jump on 40M after dinner and work 2-3 hours. Go to bed. Get up
about 0130 local time and work some Asia and South Pacific. It sorta
worked. The first night wasn't too bad. QRN was a bit high but not unexpected
for the season. It was mostly domestic consumption but a few South America came
through. Later, at 0130, the QRN was down and it was decent to the west for a
couple hours until I had to pull to plug for more sleep (lots of yard work
ahead).
The second night, yuck! Heavy QRN. The only people I could hear during the
first shift were mostly stations I had already worked. If you weren't greater
than S6, you were noise. I went to bed again hoping for a better run into Asia.
At 0130, the QRN was down but not much was happening to the west. A few VK's and
ZL's. Almost no JA's. Then I looked at the geomagnetic indices.
Yeah... well, this was never meant to be a BIC effort. I was just playing and
Sunday would be another day of work in the sun. Back to bed.
My apologies to the ones I couldn't copy. There were a number but I wasn't
going to beat my head too hard against the QRN.
