Messing around the lower end of 75 tonight listening to the high speed
traffic nets (yeah - they still exist much to my delight). Once they closed down, I moved down the band to 3.520.50 and heard a faint call. I switched from my 80 dipole to the long wire and got a couple of extra s units - HS0B - thought I was hearing things. I was already tuned up - gave a shout and damn if he didn't hear me. :) Must have been long path - there was a lot of fade, but we got the QSO exchange and quick name exchange before the pile up started. I tried listening through the QRM - he was still there, but really faint. Must have hot spotted. Interesting anyway - the low bands seem really mediocre. I handed out a few Qs today for the CW WW CW - maybe 200 in all - Europe turned on and off like a freakin light switch. Same with the JAs which are normally all over 20 meters around sundown. Damn global warming. I blame Canada. Wow - now I'm hearing all kinds of UAs - band shifted quick. Hmmm - me thinks it's time to inspect the Beverages. :) |
