Title: Daylight on 40. Post by: N8AFT on July 31, 2011, 07:18:10 AM Hi All ; Pleasantly surprised as were others to find the band in good shape on Saturday afternoon well into 5pm est.
I was able to easily work some east coast stations with not much smoke. I also think I heard John KX5JT in a QSO. Title: Re: Daylight on 40. Post by: ve6pg on August 01, 2011, 12:02:54 PM might get a chance lane, to check this week...i'm on holiday til monday, next week, then back to 3-11pm shift..
