Hey Todd, Were we on 80 meters or 10 meters? :) The band conditions were certainly in flux. You and the NJ, and CO stations were 20db over here for a good while and then the bottom fell out.
I heard stations talking to Brian/WA5AM 20 miles from me, and Ken/KA5RHK about 200 miles away, but couldn't hear them at all. I knew things had gotten better when I heard OJ about 30 miles away. Really enjoyable QSO's and good to meet you guys on the airways. 73', Kent/KX5KW On Monday 05 November 2007 03:28:32 pm Todd, KA1KAQ wrote: > Seems a bit early in the season, perhaps because it's felt so > little like autumn up until recently in the northeast.
