Just flew in from Seattle.  Temp was 60 degrees at  9000 feet.  Stayed 55
degrees down to 2500 AGL.  Then, in the next  700 feet down to 1800AGL it
dropped 23 degrees.  Will the distance  between the surface and the
inversion be the proper duct for your frequency  of interest?  Hard to say,
but listen around on repeaters, beacons, or  make some noise on 6m through
at least 432.

Nice fog across the Upper Midwest this Tuesday  AM.   Check out all the 
temperature inversions across the Upper  Midwest at this website 
_http://www.rap.ucar.edu/weather/upper/_ (http://www.rap.ucar.edu/weather/upper/)     .... click 
on the location to get the skew-t plots ..... temperature plot on the  right 
(red), humidity on the left (green) with altitude.  Warm dry air over  wet 
cool air.  
 
So far, I have not heard anything on 2m ..... local beacons are average or  
perhaps below average.
