For those who are interested in Propagation, foEs is 4.3 MHz at 1745z, at
the Austin Vertical RF Sounding vs Frequency Site. 

Since the M factor is about 6 for the Es Layer for most 10m take off angles,
this put the EsMUF = [M x foEs] at about 26 MHz. Close enough, as foEs is a
big variable with time, and we are 800 mi from this site.  foEs can change
dramatically over a 20 min. window and over a relatively small distance. 

foEs is the critical frequency (Vertical RF sounding) due to the vertical
reflection from the Sporadic E Layer Es. 

Es is high enough now for 10m opening.  

A very strong beacon K5GJR/B is now on 28223 kHz.

There is absolutely NO ONE ON SSB. That part to band must be DEAD!! Hi Hi

Hope we have a summer of fun on 10m.
