Bill,
Since you are the guru of the SADXA 160-meter propagation studies program I
thought I would pass along the following:
This morning I worked V633KS at 1312Z, which coincidentally is the time of
official sunrise. He was actually stronger and the SNR was way better a few
minutes later.
Prior to this, the QRN was running S8-9. I suspect that the noise was primarily
from the east and was attenuated with SR down to about S3. He was an honest
559, increasing to a peak of 579.
Being the equinox the terminator was almost exactly N-S and V6 is almost exactly
due W (277 deg at a distance of about 5950 miles. Pretty good for a low (45')
inverted-vee (ends at 6') that everyone "knows" only radiates straight up.
N6TR was still CQing at 1405Z when I had to leave, which I have to do now.
73,
Wes
