Lousy Condx, PSKFest and Prosigns
|
Mike Besemer <mwbesemer@...>
Wow… lousy conditions in GA tonight. QSB is rapid and deep. Seems like it’s been that way since the supermoon… or maybe since the lousy weather set it. Regardless, it’s been stinky. I’m also seeing quite a few stations NOT using the prosign ‘K’ at the end of their CQ; I’m seeing “CQ CQ de WM4B WM4B”…. and that’s it. With conditions being so bad, that prosign at the end is pretty important. Ok… off my soapbox! Good luck everyone… I’m giving up for a while until the band cleans up. Mike WM4B #348

Agreed Mike — Condx are just really bad. I got on a little bit a go figuring signals would be abound but NOT!! Very spotty to say the least.

Aw C'mon Mike. You didn't get enough snow to wreck your propagation.  Joe KA1PPV #1482

Wishful thinking I believe. We got at least a foot and half on ground and my waterfall is full of ghosts and echos. Maybe I need to start pouring salt out there. 5 contacts on 40 tonight. Hopefully 20 will be better in morning.
