Good Evening,

    Conditions were not good.  Twenty meters was noisy and weak. Earlier 
in the day the band was much better.  I was hearing contesters from all 
along the East coast.  It was as if a CME had struck but there was no 
warning on SpaceWeather.com.  Hmm ...  QSB was both slow and fast.  At 
times it sounded like picket fencing on FM.

   Forty meters had digital activity.  At first I had to move from an 
RTTY signal.  There was also some other type of digital, along with a 
few CW operators.  Forty meters is getting crowded :) The changing sun 
angle is changing propagation.  I went to the reverse beacon net and 
found I had triggered a number of stations on forty.
