[MRCA] Today's Moose & Squirrel

[B Smith]

I checked into USAF MARS net this AM (frequency is 
confidential but somewhere between 6 and 9 Mcs) 
and could hear exactly one station out of 
approximately 25.
Terrible conditions. Nothing but occasional words 
heard on M and S net.

Gang,

Conditions for today's net were a little 
difficult.  I generally take a
look at the Australian Government HF site for 
propagation info:
http://www.ips.gov.au/HF_Systems/6/6/1 (Select New 
York Radio CARA)

Here's a capture of today's map, 11:00 EDT:

Analysis:

Recommended aircraft band for the region is 6.8 
MHz.   So we might have
been better off on 40M, but it generally close 
enough for our putposes.

Note the message "SOLAR FLARE IN PROGRESS"

Also note the white dashed lines indicating "no 
suitable freq or high
absorption."

 From my point of view, that's exactly what we 
had.

CLOSE TECHNOWEENIE MODE.

Regards,
Al
