PROPAGATION_
Not  much to report as we have had no decent propagation to extend tropo  
signals. But we are in the middle of the PERSIDES shower that runs from  
Aug 10-14, with the peak maybe on the morning of the 12th.For years I  
used to run skeds and this shower is the best of the  year.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
W0WOI  reports this info for 432 and 1296 mhz operators-

N4PZ     @  EN52gb

Thursdays at 8:30 PM on 50.155 with KK5IX as  NCS.

so look for  them.
