Yesterday the band conditions were not very good, and I struggled to get the POTA site activated. Today, operating at exactly the same time as yesterday, it was a bit different.
It took 42 minutes to put 23 contacts in my log, nine on 40m, four on 15m, and ten on 20m. I was really surprised when Charles, VA6CHK, answered my CQ on 15m. It's been a long time since I worked any station from Alberta, that's almost as rare as Europe. Charles was 2774 Km from me, not bad for 10w and a Hamstick!
Todays propagation numbers were: SFI=164, SN=148, A Index=4, and the K Index=1. The very deep QSB was a lot worse than yesterday, and I had a number of reports of my signal completely fading away in the middle of a QSO.
Here's todays contact map:
Hopefully band conditions will start to improve soon.
Stay Safe Out There!
