Good Morning, After a week of icy, cold weather it will warm up and simply rain this week; much more normal weather for this area. When it snows at the lower elevations around here it is not wise to travel on the highways because the locals are not used to driving in it. While 4 wheel drive vehicles are a little easier to keep moving under these conditions they do not guarantee traction as some believe. Propagation has been good to very good this week. Currently ten meters is doing quite well for DX and for locals if you turn the gain way down. Yesterday I was listening to the contesters on ten meters as they would work Japan from New Hampshire. The Japanese stations were quite loud while the folks on the East Coast were less loud but good copy. Australia and New Zealand also sounded very good. It was fun to find islands in the Pacific working stations too.
