I enjoyed reading the SS comments on the 3830@acorn.net reflecor so much
that.., I thought I would throw my two cents in. I saw a lot of comments on
how poor 40 wsa. Looking at my QSO breakdown, I must have ben in a
propagation warp.
Started off great with 3 70Q plus hours, then has to go to a wedding which
sort of broke the pace. On 40 the skip stayed long all day; worked K1TR
(QRP) in NH at 1130 local time; 20 was terrible. Most of the signals sound
like they were multi-path except for the West Coast. 20 finally opened up
for short ship for 2.5 hours at 2130 for some good runs, but it wsa to late
to run up a big score.
