Yes, band conditions were really in the tank again this past weekend. The
SFI of 75 is understandable at this point of the SS cycle. But all these
weeks of high A & K are a real killer. You may have noticed that on
Saturday the A = 25 and the K = 3.
Hopefully, quieter band condx are coming soon!

Propagation was very poor here in central Missouri. I worked 20 and 40
meters and both were a struggle to log a call. Even USA calls were fading
in
and out and a weak signal. I heard 3 UKRAINE calls on 20 M and 1 on 40M
which were difficult to copy. Could not work them so I guess my 4 element
YAGI and dipole with 80 watts were just not enough. Frustrating to copy a
call and they can't hear you. I did S&P only and had to make sure of the
call before I tried to work it. However, I had 3 hours of fun and look
forward to the next contest. Hopefully I will have an amp soon and maybe it
will help put a few more calls in the log.
