Comments:

On for only a short while, two separate times, as Saturday was my wife's
birthday and I was saving up good will for several CW contests coming up. I was
interested in propagation on 15 and 10 meters. 15 was its usual very long with
the tier of extreme NE and NW locations pounding in, but only esp scatter for
anything closer. New England was S9 plus while NJ and IN/IL were S-zero but
audible. Ten meters was totally dead in the 1800Z hour but opened at 2330 as it
was getting dark with strong E-skip signals from the midwestern US on up to VE3.
It had rained earlier here and was misting, and the bands were totally quiet.
These conditions are rare here and it reminded me of how much inherent noise
floor I have gotten used to normally. Many stations on 15 could not hear me
while they were completely solid here at S-zero. It will be interesting to read
the reports on ten meters to see who caught this opening. Sorry I was not able
to operate longer as the conditions seemed interesting.
