[Elecraft] ECN 31 Dec 20m

[Fred Jensen]

Well, that was about as weak as it gets, nearly everyone.  I was running 
a KW, driven by the K2/100, to a 3el tribander pointed north.  In fact, 
turning the antenna has little effect on N. OR and S. WA stations, I 
think the take-off angle is too low.  Thanks to the K2 rx, Kevin was 
running 319, unless the QSB got him.  No one was above S2, although with 
the antenna N, that might account for some of it.  There was a C-class 
x-ray flare about 0900Z, don't know if that had something to do with it. 
  I still think the earlier time is worth a shot for awhile.  After all, 
it can't have gotten any worse :-)

Happy New Year to all, and 73
