Title: Where Is All the AM? Post by: Steve - K4HX on December 15, 2013, 10:42:21 AM The band is in good shape. The SFI is at 164 and the SSN at 163. I just spoke with Aldo, IW5EKR in his mobile and he is 59!. But I hear NO other AM signals. WTF, over?

An hour later I switched to 15m and heard Colorado and New Mexico stations quite well, with several other joining in for extended chat.
Title: Re: Where Is All the AM? Post by: Pete, WA2CWA on December 15, 2013, 04:47:53 PM I was shoveling ice and snow this morning. Later on 10 meters, I heard a heard few weak signals but nothing that got me excited. 15 meters didn't excite me either. So I went to 20 meters and checked into the vintage SSB net with my National NCX-5. It's now 4:45 PM. I heading down to the shack and will listen for the Far East on 10 meters.

Title: Re: Where Is All the AM? Post by: Pete, WA2CWA on December 15, 2013, 05:45:08 PM I was on late yesterday afternoon and worked a few guys west of the Mississippi. Then I went down the band and played CQ contest for awhile and worked 32 countries. Some were in Europe, 2 in Africa, and the rest in S.A. Almost all were already in darkness.
