[K6BW] Morning CW Practice

[Timothy J. Simpson]

Greetings all you early birds ---
 
I found at 0700 local time that 7145 MHz, in fact almost all of 7100 - 7150 MHz (The novice/tech band) was awash with the most horrendous QRM I've ever heard --- all atmospherics.  It started to clear a little after 0710, but it was still pretty bad when I gave up monitoring at 0723.
 
I'm afraid I'm going to have a problem with 0700.  The eyeballs don't seem to converge as quickly pre - 0900 as  they do afterward.  And while I found very few amateurs on the band at that time, I believe there was a good reason given the QRM.
 
However, below 7100 MHz, it was more serene.
