I listened also but only heard faint signals. It seems to me that late morning to mid afternoon is probably the worst time of day for any propagation on 60 meters, at least for where we are in the current solar cycle. Strong signal levels at 1730 local on the Short and Sweet Net vice those during the noontime Moose and Squirrel are literally like night and day.  Too much D layer absorption at high noon on 60 meters under the high solar flux levels these days.

Ray and team,

I tuned to 5.357 today at 1300 EST, and think I could just barely hear your voice over the noise. Didn’t bother trying to check in because I couldn’t even make out what you were saying.

Remember that tomorrow afternoon I will have the MUTT on the road at Fort Miles, Cape Henlopen State Park Delaware and will be attempting to do a “Southern” version of the Moose & Squirrel Net on 5357 USB at 1300 hours local (EDT) I will be running a AN/GRC-106 from the back of my M151A1.

Wonder if anyone will be at Sussex? Maybe we can get one or two mobile or portable stations to take part?
