[UK-CONTEST] propagation SSB CC

[G3VDB (Jim)]

Hmm - it wasn't just me then - ran the whole evening with the attenuator in
just in case there was any overload with UJE just a mile or two away and
began to wonder if the ATT was working on TX as well as RX ! Struggled with
nearly every one of 21 and spend many minutes calling GW4BVE who was getting
no other replies and did not even say "QRZ"

Depressing.

Does anyone have an explanation of last nights 80m CC conditions. From this
area (Norwich) the band was just mushy noise with a few signals, mainly
continental and a few G's. More noticeably the few G's heard could hardly
hear me, as if one way paths existed, and despite this some were still
exchanging relatively high numbers. It would be interesting to see some
analysis of this phenomena as to whether it was propagation, antennae etc.
All stations in our group did poorly despite running decent rigs and full
size dipoles. Such conditions hardly seem to reflect text book theory.
