>From EL2RF,
CONDX REMAIN TERRIBLE. STARTED CALLING 2200Z ON 16
FEB FOR ABOUT 30 MINS AND GOT NO RESPONSES. COULD
BARELY HEAR GM/DL6??? WORKING PILEUP ON 1830 AND
LISTENING UP. HE WAS MAKING QSO'S BUT I COULDNT
HEAR ANY OF THE STATIONS HE WAS WORKING.
CAME BACK ON THE AIR AT 0550Z ON 17 FEB AND CALLED
CQDX FROM THEN UNTIL 0700Z. WAS OPERATING ON 1832
UNTIL I HEARD EA3VY WORKING ON THAT FREQ AND MOVED
DOWN TO 1830. LISTENED UP AND DOWN THE BAND FROM
1835 TO 1820 FOR ANY OTHER ACTIVITY. HEAR LU7EE COME
UP CALLING CQDX ON 1830 BUT HE DIDNT HEAR ME.
FYI, I AM USING MY 5 BAND LIGHTNING BOLT QUAD TO LISTEN
ON 160m. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I CAN PULL THE STATIONS OUT
OF THE HIGH NOISE LEVEL WITH IT WHICH I CAN BARELY HEAR
ON THE 160 SLOPER. WILL GIVE IT ANOTHER GO TONITE.

PS: FOR ALL YOU WHO ASKED. I USUALLY TRY AND WORK ON 1832
BUT IT ALL DEPENDS IF EA3VY IS AROUND BECAUSE IT SEEMS
HE ALSO LIKES THE FREQ. ALSO, TODAY MY SUNRISE WAS
0659Z.
