A mostly wasted night on 160. Starting at 0600, the TS noise was very
strong. KN4EEI was running FT8 later but even that was marginal. There was
almost no propagation from about 1100 Z until my SR. Even the JA-s, who are
normally S7 - 9, were marginal CPY. Switched to 80 at 0630 for a good run of
EU stations. Just before my SR, on 80 we had very strong OTH radar that
wiped everything out for about 10 minutes. 160 was dead.
Will be on again at my SS on 80 from 0500 to 0545 then 160. If 160 is too
noisy, QSY to 80 at 0630 for EU.
Back on 160 again for NA SR at 1100 and then again at 0500 for EU. FT8 with
KH8/KN4EEI in between.
GL and 73,
