I’ll be getting on the air tonight at 00:00 UTC for my daily contact for 8/25. Need it tonight as I’m going out of town tomorrow. I’ll try 20 meters first, then 40 if nothing is going on.

Steve Ford wrote an article about that a few months ago in QST, pretty interesting. 60 meters seems to open more now also. KI4VMK # 2542

For those of you who are around during the day time hours, don't count 40m as a "dead band". Been seeing stations in IN and NM from here near Chicago. Have made a few daytime contacts this summer

It's back for me now as well. Dave, AK7DB

At least up this way in Illinois. It's so quiet I think watching paint drying would be more fun ! Jerry N9AVY

It's up here in IL near Chicago ! Jerry N9AVY

Same here KI4VMK

Been trying to access the website this morning, keep getting a DNS address cant be found error. All my other places are working fine. Dave, AK7DB

Yahoo decided to bury the announcement I posted yesterday into an old thread from years past, so I'm re-posting it: The KC9UR Pontoon Portable APE has been spotted thrashing about northeast Indiana
