[Lowfer] HiFERS 11 Dec

[us66soft at aol.com]

The ionosphere seemed quite unsettled this afternoon.  At the low end 
of the band, I could only find MP, SIW, and NC, all of  which would 
individually fade out completely for a minute or two at a time, and 
then would peak briefly.  Sometimes two would disappear for a little 
while.  (NC has drifted yet a little higher in frequency, in honor of 
the cool months.)

No sign of USC today, which had been a pretty reliable signal 
throughout the fall.

I did manage to copy some conventional CW stations by ear, notably WV, 
EH, AJO (first time in a while!) and bits of FRC.  These, too, tended 
to be gone for a few cycles, then just appear out of nowhere for an ID 
or two...sometimes only one or two letters at a time, in fact.
