Hi Len,
Well I'm glad you guys are having fun. I've just returned inside from
the shack, having sat through 30 minutes pre-sunrise without hearing a
single signal on the band, except for the ZL digi at 20 over, of
course. All the indicators are right - very stable ionosphere, with Au
index=1 and solar wind with low speed and density. The gods of
propagation haven't read the book though!
73, Greg, ZL3IX
