Bands should have been better than they were, but these days there seems to be
no relief.
Made a few Qs on 10M, all W6. This is the fourth July for 10M to be a virtual
no-show.
15M was weak with bad QSB and not a lot of activity. 20M didn't seem very good
at all.
Took my break in a 2-hour stint from 1 to 3 p.m. local, saving evening hours
for the lower bands. Lots of activity on 40M but one-way propagation until
nearly dark (9 p.m.) out here.
I think my 80M vertical array is dead. 36 Qs there, with only 12 mults. Most of
the stations heard were on the west coast. Had hoped to make some hay on 80M
this time, but ended up with 8 fewer mults that last July. Looks like a lot of
us found 80M less than productive.
Still, glad I got on for the whole 10 hours this time. Thanks for the contacts
and all the repeats through the debilitating local BC Hydro power line noise on
20M and up (now in year 6 without a fix).
