Awoke this AM at 4AM so brewed up the coffee and made a trip to
the shack, was hoping to work VK9HR, not a peep of any
signals on the "normal" band, noticed a Blurb on the scope way up the
band, thinking it was a Japanese fishing boat as usual I tuned up to
1840 and there was VK9HR calling cq on SSB., Very nice 59 signal.
Did not even warm up the amp, 100 watts and in the log for a new one.
QRN was low also, quiet band. Wont last long as there is rain
clouds around this PM.
Season is approaching, time to wrap up some antenna work.
