I heard nothing, as expected! My noise level was about -110 dBM, quite high (now, in the morning, it's -120). I did give N6KR a short call on the QRG a few minutes before and after the hour just in case I could get a SWL report. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VCO http://www.qsl.n

You were very marginal copy for the first ten minutes but were getting S7 reports from those you worked. Then you dropped out and I could only hear those you were working. You were not lonely :) 73, Kevin. KD5ONS On 5/15/2017 10:34 AM, Wayne Burdick wrote: Hi all, A friend

My chance of hearing you is almost zero, noise level high-ish, but my propagation program tells me that the propagation to CA on 20 at noon your time is as good as it will be all day. So I'll listen in a few minutes -- who knows? 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VCO http://www.qsl.
