Band condx not quite so good this (Saturday) evening. Zero events yesterday    

[Pete, WA2CWA]

The bands should be loaded with many calling "CQ SS".

Oh

[KA8WTK]

Doesn't start till 2100 UTC Saturday. (If I am reading it right.)

There is still time!

Don,

I heard you on last night up here, just south of Boston, you sounded good! Condition's were great. Just wasn't a good night for me to fire up a tube rig.. Long day and needed sleep..

After a long week and being out of town I finally fired up the rig last night around 8 p.m. and heard Don KYV real well.   I think to myself Good this is gg to be a nice condx evening on 75.  I go away for about 45 minutes to do my evening chores.  I go back to the shack and everything is completely dead.  I hear a few guys way off but everything is weird rapid QSB and it sounded like all the guys I heard earlier had signed but it was only around 9 p.m.  Meanwhile 75 meters sounds worthless.     I may start parking on 1880.

Oh.

Yeah, figures... doesn't it?

At 2300 GMT the QuaRMtest pretty well dominates 40m phone, but relatively little activity on 75m.  AM activity in the "window" seems normal.  No QuaRMtest activity at all heard between 3600 and 3700.  Scattered activity on 3700-3850.  None heard above 3900. No QuaRMtest activity anywhere on 160. Seems to me there was a lot heavier participation in the CW SS than in the slopbucket edition.  Remains to be seen how this plays out later on in the evening.

Lightning storm map shows some activity on the west coast and Rockies.  Total events: 145.

ITs storming out here.  Lightning and rain.  West coast also.  Spent some time on 40 today but had to shut down.  I heard Don last night on 3887 booming in but him and the fella he was talking to where short keying right away and ignoring all the people trying to get in to say hello. I never keyed up as it was past 10pm here and I was tired.  Lots of SSBers in the window last night including a group of five going on and on about how Don was splattering on them.. hahaha.. It was a good laugh.
