Part 2 of the January 2012 NAQP Was conducted once again from an urban site in
Concord Ca. Altho the solar flux was 142, 10-m was not able to deliver much;
even 15 left much to be desired, altho the JA's& RZ0 were a Bonus. 20,15& 10
were plagued by a slowwwww fade.
Despite the use of RF chokes on the roll-up keyboard and trackball cables, 80-m 160-m
and even 40-m at times would RF the Toshiba laptop heavily enough causing it to
enter suspend mode (luckily it didn't reboot) - once in awhile it would also
power it right back on. I was prepared to log 80/160 on paper w/o the laptop.
Some of the WHACKY names certainly tweaked my right-brain aural-filters - TCG?
AG? What kind of names are those?
Equipment: ICOM 7000 + Heil PRO headset& Kenwood TS-450sat + a classic D-104
both into a ground-mounted Butternut HF2-V Vertical w/a load of radials.
