Title: 15 meters today Jan. 13, 2013

Great AM signals this morning on 15. Finland was heard and worked along with several stations in the mid-west. I wish stations would spread out more rather then hang +/- 2 or 3 KHz from 21.425. Chuck, K1KW, and I also worked each other. Both our signals at each others locations had tremendous echo; almost to the point of being non-understandable. Was difficult to tell if it was just weird back scatter or we were working long path. Over all, the propagation on 15 meters seemed to be a bit unusable. When W0VMC popped up on 21.425, his signal strength was 40 to 50 db over S9. Some of my locals don't make it that high in signal strength.
