[80m] 80/75 Meter Propagation

[Merv Stump]

I recently posted to this reflector asking if it was still active and
got lots of answers.  So it appears people are here waiting - either the
bands are really lousy or there is just no one there.  If we talk about
it a little maybe we will get some idea of what is going on.  So here
goes:

 

As a point of reference my sunrise today is 1217 and sunset is 2126 and
I am in New York.

 

0400 this morning:  OH2BH was 5X9+10 in the DX window.  Martti needs a
few for WAS on the band, including South Dakota.  Martti, KB7UP (Ken) in
SD was on at 1200 this morning.  I know that is too late for you, but
maybe you guys can work something out.  Other Europeans were also strong
between 0300 and 0400.

 

1030 to 1230 this morning:  JA beacon on 3925 was 5X9+5, but I heard
only 1 JA.  That was Elvin, JA3CZY, and he was too work to work on the
east coast.  I heard nothing else from Asia or the Pacific.  KL7HSB was
strong for over an hour.  VP5/K4ISV was strong, but then Bud always is. 

 

2100 this afternoon:  VK6LK is coming through long path, but very weak.
I haven't heard Robin very well for more than 2 weeks.  No other long
path signals heard although Europe is now beginning to come through (now
2123 - not yet dark).

 

Ok, that's it for me.  What is anyone else hearing?
