I too experience very strange, poor, propagation on Saturday afternoon.? From EN33, with a nice shot to Buck Hill, with moderate power and a fairly short distance, we really struggled to make Q's on the high bands when signals should have been easy S9 SSB.? Also, for the first time ever, KM0T and I were not able to work on 5760 from EN44.

If I get enough field data, and if I can match it up with any weather observations from Internet data, it may make for an interesting paper for Aurora'10.?
