[MAMS] 9:15 EDT and heard nothing on Microwave bands

[Zack Widup]

Evidently not very good propagation today. I can usually hear the
K3SIW beacon on 1296 down here. It's usually on somewhere between
1296.060 and 1296.065. I used to be able to hear the K3SIW 903 beacon
on 903.085 but haven't heard it here in over a year. Pete K9PW, who
tries to maintain the beacons for Garry, said he thinks it got water
in the feedline.

If the Hepburn forecast shows some enhancement and if the weather
isn't too bad, I can make a trip to the EN50rl hill during the week in
the morning between about 6:30 and 8 am Central time. I'd like to try
snow scatter too, which I could do from various other hills that are
closer.

73, Zack W9SZ
