Driving home from work late last night, only a couple of weak European signals
were heard. By the time I got in the shack just before 07z, the band seemed
dead -- not a signal found across the lower end.
But a quick CQ at 0655z brought us LA5HE, KH6AT, 5T5SN, GU4YOX and G3XRJ, and a
few other Europeans were calling at times. The vertical TX array was hearing
better than the Beverages on most of these -- that's unusual. Conditions were
very quiet, with signals S5-S7.
At sunrise, however, the band truly was dead. Didn't even hear any of the VK
regulars today.
