[NLRS] 10 GHz Rain Scatter Last Night

[Barry VE4MA]

  Another good nite. Ran early with K0AWU nothing heard then ran with Ed VE3KRP up until 00:45 ...looked good on the screen but nothing

  later at 01:24 worked SSB W0ZQ 59 & KC0IYT 53 from EN34mo . They then left for EN34nl.

  Heard W0PHD EN18oe on backscatter very distorted. 

  at 01:39 Worked N0KP 55A good signal 

  20:42 W0PHD QSO's FB but heavy distortion.

  0155 W0ZQ 59 SSB EN34nl & KC0IYT 51SSB  @422 miles!  That is 3rd place in the Rain Scatter record book

  Later W0ZQ and I were taking turns calling CQ and ended up working FB on FM with good Quieting & 57 signals at both ends...a little popping

  And to complete the evening at:

   03:08 N0KP on his roof  and fighting bugs at EN34gt

  At 03:20 W0GHZ   The rain scatter program says we were using the top of the last cloud and right at the sunset of visibility from my end.

  Best 73 & Thanks to All
