A summer-like day both in terms of temperature and static.
Fortunately European 160M signals were up along with the noise.
But, there was a first for the season: all European stations heard
after 0530z (DF2PY, OZ7C, DJ7AA, DJ7MI, DF3GY, and G3UOF) were all
stronger on my 8 degree Beverage than my ones for 30 and 43 degrees.
Hopefully that means that the polar paths are just trying to get
warmed up for the weekend contest--good luck to all!
73, Bill K0HA
