Hi all,
I think we had the worst prop of any SP test since I have been in ZL.
In the first darkness period (15z to 1650z there was not a single USA or
KH6 station audible. Usually there are several left coasters on around
their sunrise. Just 2 JAs, 3 VKs and 2 ZLs in that session.
Things
Poor also from Fairbanks, Ak. Listened both nights off and on. But in the end
it was the burning end of my Inv-L that called timeout.
Apparently my coated stranded wire had a covering defect at the far end where
it was suspended in a treeā¦the voltage node melted the pull-up rope and down it
say for my brief operating time the conditions were
sub par.
Cheers
