Hi All...
Yes tropo! I was going to remove that word from my vocabulary here in
EN58ij... hihi... I was on the edge of it most of the time but had good
sigs on 144 and 432. Conditions favoured mostly to the south and
south-south-west. I logged EN22,28,33,35,36,41,45,50,51,52,56 & 66,
EM06 & 28. Best DX was KB0HH in EM06 Oklahoma on 144 and 432, for a
best distance of 915 miles. An interesting 144 contact was with Jon
N0JK near Lawrence, KS EM28 who had a 7 ele. M2 antenna on a short pole
planted in the ground in a field. using only his FT-897. N4PZ and W9ZIH
both had booming signals on 432 Monday morning and during the 432 net in
the evening. Thanks to all that called and tried to make contact. I
hope the tropo gods bring us another round of this propagation.....
73, Fast Eddie VE3KRP
