[MRCA] [MMRCG] M&S Southern version test this Saturday

[Mark K3MSB]

E Skip Propagation is mainly found on 6M and above,  and quite often on
10M.   Peaks in summer with a smaller peak in Dec/Jan.  This will not
impact you on 5 Mhz.

Are you using the "real" antenna for your attempts?    You might consider
using another type of antenna that will better provide the ability to cover
the distances required.

What is the range you want to cover?   If it's several hundred miles,  a
low dipole may work for you.    Not authentic, but it gets the job done.
