Last night's code word was "BLUE"
Another good run last night and a new RX champion, George, W8UVZ in Battle
Creek, Michagan--573,000 miles per watt. All reports came either just
after sunset or just before sunrise. It seems that grey line gives the
beat results though a couple of stations reported a copyable signal all
through the night.
I can't stand it anymore so we're dropping to 500 uW tonite!
Station Details:
Frequency - 3579.6 KHz
N2XE/B Grid Square FN31BO 500 uW into Dipole up 50 feet oriented 330/150
degrees (true north).
