After the terrible band conditions over the past week I decided that today was perhaps the day to get out there and see if things had improved yet. Aside from a bit of QSB things were actually not too bad.
I did a quick 30 minute activation at CA-5141, Lemoine Point, and managed to put 14 contacts in the log from there.
As usual I had my KX3 set at 10w, and a 40m Hamstick is use, and a fine job they both did. Propagation this morning was: SFI=156, SN=102, A Index=59, and the K Index=1.
First in the log today was Chris, N0TAR, in Groton, CT. No DX was worked, and that's OK as I really just wanted to see how the bands were. I've decided that looking at the numbers for the weekend I'll try and get an activation in, between rain showers, on both days.
Here's todays activation map:
