BAND BY BAND NOTES...
160: VERY NOISY HERE. NO DEEP CONTINENTAL EUROPE WORKED, HAD TROUBLE HEARING
DUE TO LOCAL MAN MADE NOISE. DID WORK CX FOR A NEW COUNTRY.
80: WORKED EVERYONE I HEARD. NOISE THAT PLAGUES ME ON 160 WAS PRESENT ON 80.
40: FRIDAY NIGHT WAS THE PITS, SATURDAY AFTERNOON TO EVENING NOT A BARN BURNER,
BUT SUNDAY AFTERNOON WAS THE BEST WITH 100 WATT EUROPEANS SOLID.
I HEARD ONE JA EARLY SUNDAY MORNING BUT HE DIDN'T HEAR ME. ZL3A HAD AN AMAZING
SIGNAL ON 40.
20: WAS WALL TO WALL AS WE ALL KNOW. WORKED 2 JA'S SUNDAY AFTERNOON THAT WERE
BOTH RUNNING KW'S BUT WERE SO WEAK I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY HEARD MY 100 WATTS.
15: WAS NICE AND CONSISTENT INTO THE CARIBBEAN AND SOUTH AMERICA.
10: THERE'S A HAM BAND CALLED 10 METERS? DIDN'T HEAR ANY HAM SIGNALS :)
YES THE CONDITIONS WERE NOT SO HOT, BUT WE ALL GOT TO PLAY "RADIOMAN OR
RADIOWOMAN" FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. ISN'T THAT WHY WE GOT INTO THIS HOBBY.
