[ADXA] Lack of Solar Activity

[Steven Rutledge]

Thanks Rory.  Yes, the last week or so has been about as bad as I can recall.  I stayed up last night and worked some new ones on FT8 on 80.  

Only DX in morning on 17 evaporating too.

My Acom 1000 went belly up a couple of weeks ago.  Array Solutions called me yesterday.  Ruined relay somehow and tube bad.  Won’t be cheap.  Got ten years out of it.  It comes back after New Year.  No one there to ship it.

Merry Xmas!

Steve, QQ

I did do fairly well working RTTY for the contest yesterday into Europe, but nothing "special".  Today there is very little CW on the cluster and the digital modes are equally bad across the board.  Hopefully the sun will wake up and conditions will improve.
