Title: 15-meters ... DEAD Post by: W7NGA on May 13, 2016, 12:20:56 PM I'm really disappointed. Managed to talk my wife into helping me move the Collins 32V3 to the bench. Wired it up for 15-meters, and ... nothing heard.
It's been two weeks now without a whimper of a signal. I do hear the W1AW code bulletins .. but nothing else. Sad .. I had to put up a 75-meter dipole and start talking about my cat and last colonoscopy. W7NGA dan San Juan Island, Wa. Title: Re: 15-meters ...

And, unlike 10 meters which is also affected by this, 10 meters has the advantage being able to take advantage of Sporadic E openings. Europeans are having a ball on 10 meters right now as type.
