Comments:
Horrible conditions Friday night. At the start 20m was closed and 40m was
already long. My normal 40m antenna was out of service so forced to use a ground
mounted vertical in an electrical noisy suburban location. On 80/160 I was still
plagued with a s9+10 noise level so low bands are always a challenge. QSB was
ferocious with signals there then gone.
Conditions improved Saturday when 20m opened. Had a good run of European
stations just at sunrise for about 30 minutes. Surprised that 15 showed any
signs of life but was able to work some of the western stations on back scatter.
The Ontario stations worked sounded like sporadic E propagation.
To those chasing the RAC stations for the RAC Canada 150 award, I hope you were
able to complete the challenge during this event.
Happy new year to all!
